#32https://fossbytes.com/ is India's equivalent of The Verge
Home page is full of thin affiliate pages. I clicked the "News" link at top, and it seems to be a page with links to affiliate pages of movies.

#33Some of these are excellent recommendations, while some are horrible (sorry!). Rather than replying to multiple posts, here is an alternative to consider.
Add Google Alerts for the keywords you want - "AliExpress", "taiwan semiconductor", or with wildcards in between as needed. Keep monitoring the alerts for several weeks. You will find a lot of general news sites, but you will also find who really publishes things that are useful and interesting to you.
Bonus tip: Once you find these sites, keep monitoring them. Find out where they get their news from. Mostly, they will quote or link to the original source. Go to those places. Those are the pristine sources you want.

Not a news aggregator - all original reporting
I found the site too 'Western'. It feels like reading a NYT or BBC article about what's going on in Asia rather than reading a local paper.
Fair, but most (if not all) of the reporters are in (and often from) the countries or regions they report in.
