US courts may take note of India’s stance on TikTok: FCC chief Brendan Carr

India's early ban on TikTok could have implications for the legal battle the company faces in the United States. TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, is expected to challenge the US move to ban the video-hosting service. The recent directive from US President Joe Biden requires ByteDance to divest ownership of TikTok or face a ban within the next nine to 12 months. ByteDance has stated that it does not plan to sell the app, with TikTok's CEO arguing that the facts and the US Constitution are on their side. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner Brendan Carr believes that India's actions against TikTok could play a role in the US litigation, potentially showing that the concern about TikTok extends beyond the US alone.

Jensen Huang Dismisses Fears: US AI Chips Unlikely in China’s Military

The US, citing security threats, banned exports of Nvidia’s advanced semiconductors to China. Huang argues that such restrictions unfairly hinder US firms' global competitiveness and could spur China to develop rival technologies. Despite meeting US leaders, including Trump, Huang faces bipartisan pressure to avoid Beijing’s military-linked entities.

Better US-India relationship has a clear China lens

PM Modi's recent visit to the US showcased the progress in India-US relations. However, it is important to analyze how the US perceives India beyond the diplomatic language. Both US Presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, have not explicitly stated their stance on India. The US Integrated Country Strategy outlines America's perspective on India in light of the challenge posed by China.
