China's nuclear power plants come from the US. Westinghouse's bankruptcy set back the targets for many years.
Of course, the big problem is also geopolitical concerns here.
I would say that India is in a better position here (on geopolitics), however the tech transfer from US even to India has been iffy at best.
Here's a bigger problem - India has set a goal to switch to electrical vehicles by 2030. If that happens, all gasoline/petrol/diesel consumption will switch to coal.
Which means that switching to EV will double India's pollution norms.
Unless nuclear power takes over.
Actually the majority of China's nuclear power plants are a local design based on French technology (there's been a long term cooperation with France, which has built a couple of nuclear power plants there, including recently)
China's reliance on US tech for nuclear is over. Now they're using French tech domestically manufactured for their current gen reactors, and building next gen reactors with their own tech.
