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.

ICI's China expansion

ICI has announced two new plants in Shanghai at a total cost of about $440m (pounds 379m). ICI Polyurethanes is setting up a joint venture with a local company to establish a "world-scale" factory to supply MDI, used in the refrigeration, building insulation, footwear and furniture industries. The investment will be around $400m, with the rest of the total accounted for by a second Chinese operation for ICI Paints. The new site will be in the Songjiang industrial zone in Shanghai in a joint development with Swire Pacific.
