where he covers Apple. The topic of our conversation is Patrick's new book, Apple in China, which I reviewed last week.
In the episode, Patrick provides a history of Apple's manufacturing activities in China, why Apple became so dependent on China for the production of its products, and how Apple shaped the trajectory of China as meaningfully as China shaped Apple.
