*Hosted by Radu Palamariu* In this episode, we dive into one of the most consequential supply chain narratives of our time: how Apple became the single largest private contributor to China’s tech rise. Patrick McGee, a longtime Financial Times reporter and author of Apple in China, joins me to unravel the $55B-a-year investments, the Foxconn partnership that transformed Shenzhen, and why Apple today is more than just a tech company, but also a geopolitical force. We explore themes of industrial statecraft, shareholder capitalism, and how Apple’s operations shaped an entire nation’s industrial future. Discover more details here.
