Americans are clearly also worried for when India may turn into a major threat. Just because India is useful to USA insofar as countering China doesn't mean they want to see India growing out of control. American international industrial policies of recent administrations are a testament to this thinking.

This is just not true, the Americans are frustrated that India is not good value for the level of overall investment they have given.

India is not being singled out in any way, they are just being rebalanced to the extent of their perceived generosity.

For example, giving India a clean run at cheap Russian oil was a concession in reality.

So now they have changed that, that's it

The next call on trade between the negotiating teams of India and the US is set for Tuesday, and Washington will invite New Delhi to join its flagship critical supply chain initiative Pax Silica next month, Sergio Gor, US ambassador-designate to India, said in his address to US embassy staff and the media in the national capital on Monday.

The Pax Silica initiative is the US State Department’s effort to shore up supply chain security in advanced technology areas such as artificial intelligence and semiconductors. It was announced last month, with India not among its founding members.

Nations that joined last month include Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom and Israel.

We can’t control everything, but when an opportunity appears, we should use it to our advantage. Geopolitics is always carrots and sticks.

Still waiting to hear from the PDF gang who mocked India for 'not being invited'.

India has 20% of the world’s chip design engineers

Assessing India’s Readiness to Assume a Greater Role in Global Semiconductor Value Chains

India has the potential to play a much more significant role in global semiconductor value chains, provided the government upholds its investment policies, maintains a conducive regulatory and business environment, and avoids measures that create unpredictability.

Well technically there are a lot of aspects in the supply chain India could contribute to. Tons of chip design talent, backend packaging/testing, some mature fabs, and a huge market that the US and others trust won’t leak tech to China. It would make the supply chain less brittle for the Americans. Reliance on Taiwan is a red herring for America.

We’re simple poor people, happy with crumbs if those crumbs translate into billions in investment and jobs. Not everyone is lucky enough to survive like Pakistan

This is politics 101. America is testing how much India will relent to their pressure. All the nudging and political hijinks is towards that sole goal.

America has made some substantial concessions to India in the last 2 decades, the NSG waiver being one of the major ones. Same with Chabahar port.

The "crumbs" you refer to will decide the political and economic trajectory of the next decade or so. More investment = more jobs for the Indian populace, that is the single most important thing imo.

The only permanent thing nations have are interests, India is also leveraging the China card against America.
