TOKYO - Chips, batteries and energy are key collaboration areas between the United States and Japan as the allies seek to secure supply chains and counter China, Washington's envoy to Tokyo said.

The two countries agreed last Friday to establish a new joint research centre for next-generation semiconductors. That deal came together, Mr Emanuel has said, after US President Joe Biden talked with Panasonic executives while in Japan. In a joint statement on Friday, ministers from the United States and Japan said they opposed"economic coercion", although they did not name a specific country.

Mr Emanuel said that if a country is pressured by China, the United States needs to counter with"economic incentives", including using energy resources as a"strategic asset".
