Patrick McGee, Financial Times journalist and author of Apple in China, joins Michael Gove to discuss how Apple’s rise is inseparable from China’s economic transformation. McGee reveals how Apple’s search for scale led it to become deeply embedded in China’s manufacturing infrastructure – to the point of being strategically vulnerable. From technology transfers to geopolitical entanglements, this conversation explores how the world’s most valuable company became a key player in China’s rise – and what that means for the West.
