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.HONG KONG (Reuter) - The colony can hear for itself a tape- recording claimed to be an intimate telephone conversation between the Princess of Wales and a male friend, thanks to a Singaporean businessman who has dubbed the tape into Chinese. Robert Chua, a self-styled broadcasting pioneer, said he was offering recordings in both the original English and Cantonese to satisfy the colony's passion for scandal.
Mr Chua said his biggest headache in translating the tape was finding a Cantonese equivalent for the name Squidgy, for which there is no obvious Chinese equivalent.
