Apple in China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company

Apple in China by Patrick McGee is a groundbreaking investigation into the symbiotic and increasingly strained relationship between the world’s most valuable company and the rising superpower. For decades, the partnership between Apple and China was hailed as a miracle of global capitalism, but as McGee reveals, it has become a “Faustian bargain” with profound implications for the future of the global economy.

The True Story of the iPhone and Global Power

Dans Apple in China, veteran Financial Times reporter Patrick McGee draws on over two hundred interviews with former executives and engineers to tell a story that has never been fully documented. From the secretive “Gang of Eight” tasked with appeasing Beijing to the missionaries of retail who launched the Apple Store in the mainland, the book provides an unprecedented look at how Tim Cook helped build an advanced electronics ecosystem that now serves as the foundation of Chinese technological influence.

The narrative goes beyond the boardroom, exploring the factory floors of Foxconn and the high-level political maneuvering required to keep the iPhone supply chain running. McGee argues that Apple’s pursuit of efficiency and scale didn’t just build a successful product—it inadvertently fueled the rise of a state-supported industry that now rivals American innovation.
