“Apple in China”. Can one company and its association with a country, a history of their actions, decisions and relationship give us a sense of how technology and globalization have evolved over the past few decades? Can it also provide us with a broad understanding of the current state of affairs and the brewing storm over technology controls, export restrictions, tariffs and trade wars? Yes, and the book, “Apple in China” by Patrick McGee does all that. It is a fascinating read and while it is a story of Apple’s supply chain, it takes us through the evolution of its relationship with China and its impact on both the company and the country and their rapid ascent to technology and economic leadership. McGee provides us rare insights through a blend of geopolitics, industry dynamics, and corporate decision making told through the lens of Apple’s complex, high stakes relationship with China
