About the Book: This book offers a cautionary, geopolitical analysis of Apple’s success and vulnerability, arguing that the company’s decision to anchor its supply chain in China has given Beijing strategic leverage. Investigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on over 200 interviews to trace how Apple’s outsourcing strategy, initially seeking affordable labor, helped finance and train Chinese manufacturers—skills now being weaponized against the West, making current U.S. tariff strategies “embarrassingly naïve.” The book goes beyond executive biographies to place the iPhone’s global domination within the context of a new Cold War. This book is categorized as Business/Geopolitics.
