Apple in China: How the iPhone Became an Economic Security Warning. With Patrick McGee

Apple helped build extraordinary manufacturing capacity in China, but that success also created dependency and loss of domestic know-how. Patrick McGee, New York Times bestselling author of Apple in China, joins Kit Conklin to explain how Apple trained tens of millions of workers, raised the quality standards, and helped make China the leader in consumer technology manufacturing. From China’s efforts to lure western tech companies, to Intel-TSMC competition, to the promise of innovators like Tesla and SpaceX, the conversation considers what leaders should do when supply chains and production built for profitability become questions of power, leverage and economic security.
