Show Notes

Patrick McGee has written the definitive book on how Apple supercharged China’s development into a global manufacturing colossus and leveraged its relationship with Beijing to become one of the most iconic consumer tech brands in history. Now, the author of “Apple in China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company” joins POLITICO Tech guest host Phelim Kine to break down how Apple’s reliance on China has become a toxic codependency that has trapped the company at the center of U.S.-China trade tensions that have upended a decades-old business model hinged on a “Made in China” export production model.


Phelim Kine is POLITICO’s DC-based China and Indo-Pacific Affairs correspondent.

Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy and producer of POLITICO Tech.
