Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Beijing businessman has blamed anti-Chinese prejudice and double standards for Iceland's decision to turn down his proposal to build a vast nature retreat in the north Atlantic island nation.
Iceland's interior ministry said it had rejected an application by Huang Nubo's Zhongkun Group to buy 120 square miles of land on the north shore of Iceland in a deal that would have been worth about 1 billion Icelandic kronur (£5.7m).
Mr Huang said the rejection was indicative of anti-Chinese attitudes in the West. Western countries wish to "encourage the opening of the Chinese market while they close their doors to Chinese investments," he said. AP
