Apple in China

*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *** * WINNER OF THE SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2025 FOR BUSINESS REPORTING * What if the greatest business success story of the twenty-first century was hiding the West's gravest mistake? For two decades, Apple poured billions into China, training millions of workers and building the most advanced supply and manufacturing system in history. But those same investments transferred knowledge, skills and power, handing China the tools to challenge America's dominance and putting Apple in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers. Based on hundreds of exclusive interviews, Patrick McGee's gripping exposé reveals Apple's vulnerability for the first time - and shows how one company's triumph inadvertently reshaped the global balance of power. 'Devastatingly clear' New York Times 'Scrupulously reported' New Yorker 'Absolutely riveting' Peter Frankopan 'Disturbing and enlightening' Chris Miller 'This is the best book about Apple ever written' Ben Thompson, Stratechery
