Apple In China by Patrick McGee
Apple in China examines how Apple’s decision to concentrate production in China helped build the country’s electronics manufacturing dominance while leaving the company deeply dependent on an authoritarian state. Drawing on interviews with former Apple employees and industry sources, Patrick McGee outlines how massive scale and profitability from iPhone manufacturing brought political and operational vulnerabilities—data rules, pressure to work with local suppliers, and exposure to Beijing’s demands. The book situates Apple’s business choices within the broader US–China geopolitical tensions.
