The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the brink of bankruptcy in 1996, Apple adopted an outsourcing strategy. By 2003 it was lured to China by the promise of affordable, ubiquitous labour. As the iPod and iPhone transformed Apple's fortunes, their sophisticated production played a seminal role in financing, training, supervising and supplying Chinese manufacturers - skills Beijing is now weaponizing against the West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInvestigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on 200 interviews with former Apple executives and engineers to reveal how Cupertino's choice to anchor its supply chain in China has increasingly made it vulnerable to the regime's whims. Both an insider's historical account and a cautionary tale, \u003ci\u003eApple in China\u003c\/i\u003e is the first history of Apple to go beyond the biographies of its top executives and set the iPhone's global domination within an increasingly fraught geopolitical context.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mcgee, Patrick","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52688290382163,"sku":"9781398534377","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/mcgee-patrick-patrick-mcgee-apple-in-china-2025-trade-paperback-9781398534377-1213810655.jpg?v=1767122532","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/patrick-mcgee-apple-in-china-2025-trade-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
