| Apple in China (Scribner) |
| Friday, 30 May 2025 | ||||||
This book examines how Apple helped build China’s dominance in electronics assembly and manufacturing only to find itself trapped in a relationship with an authoritarian state making ever-increasing demands. Patrick McGee explains how after struggling to build its products on three continents, Apple was lured by China’s seemingly inexhaustible supply of cheap labor. Without explicitly intending to, Apple built an advanced electronics industry within China, only to discover that its massive investments in technology upgrades had inadvertently given Beijing a power that could be weaponized. Patrick McGee draws on more than two hundred interviews with former executives and engineers, supplementing their stories with unreported meetings held by Steve Jobs, emails between top executives, and internal memos regarding threats from Chinese competition.
