Morphology
state-controlled = state + controlled (transparent) = state + control + ed
The adjective is a straightforward compound of 'state' + 'controlled' meaning governed or managed by the state, which is directly inferable from the parts.
Etymology
State-controlled combines state meaning 'government' and controlled meaning 'kept under someone's power'. Think of the government holding a company by the hand, so state-controlled describes something owned or run by the government rather than private people.
