U.S. seeks closer India tech ties; no China ‘decoupling’: U.S. commerce secretary

NEW DELHI: India could become a key supplier of electronic parts and hardware for the United States, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Friday, adding that Washington was not seeking a “technological decoupling” from China.

Raimondo’s visit to New Delhi comes amid increasingly tight U.S. export restrictions on chipmaking technology to China which Washington says are aimed at hobbling Beijing’s ability to expand its chip industry and enhance its military capabilities.
