In this compelling clip, Apple in China author and veteran journalist Patrick McGee discusses the realities behind Trump-era calls to bring Apple’s supply chain back to the U.S., examining labor conditions, factory ecosystems, cost structures, and what’s really at stake in the U.S.–China tech rivalry. According to McGee, it’s not about whether Apple wants to move production — it’s about whether the U.S. can support it. This conversation is part of a broader interview featured on Honestly with Bari Weiss and ties into McGee’s deep reporting on Apple, China, and the shifting landscape of global trade.
