The trade war between the US and China continues at full speed. Although this situation, which has caused damage to many companies, especially Huawei, has been forgotten with the pandemic, it has become the main agenda again with the new move of the USA. The White House is launching a partnership with India on Tuesday that President Joe Biden hopes will help the countries compete against China on military equipment, semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

US, India’s ICET Partnership to Focus on Semiconductors, AI and More to Help Compete Against China
The White House wants to strengthen its hand against China. For this, President Joe Biden, who was at the table with India, agreed in principle with the New Delhi government. This situation, which includes companies in both countries, is based on mutual benefit. As you know, India’s telecom infrastructure mainly consists of Chinese companies, including Huawei.
President Biden wants to change that and have new infrastructure built in the region by US companies. In addition, India’s military (currently dependent on Russia) will also have access to modern US weapons. The initiative also includes a joint effort on space and high-performance quantum computing. General Electric has requested permission from the US government to produce jet engines. Collaboration will also apply to semiconductors, AI, and other critical technologies.
Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, and his Indian counterpart, Ajit Doval, are meeting with senior officials from both countries at the White House on Tuesday to launch the US-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies. “The larger challenge posed by China — its economic practices, its aggressive military moves, its efforts to dominate the industries of the future and to control the supply chains of the future have had a profound impact on the thinking in Delhi,” said Sullivan. The agreement is expected to have serious benefits for both countries.
For example, General Electric is asking the US government for permission to produce jet engines with India that would power aircraft operated and produced by India, according to the White House, which says a review is underway. Now this permission is also expected to be granted.
