US Strengthens Tech Ties With India But Doesn't Seek Decoupling From China, Raimondo Says

The U.S. government is not seeking to "decouple" from China, nor is it seeking "technological decoupling," but Washington "would like to see India achieve its aspirations to play a larger role in the electronics supply chain," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Friday.

But I also want to make it clear that the United States doesn't seek to decouple from China."
