Apple made China into a Superpower. Was it worth it?
The State Department blob sees China as a grandmaster playing a hundred-year game for world domination. But what if China isn’t especially good at long-term planning, and we’re just uniquely bad at it?
Apple in China was one of my favourite books of the past year, so I was thrilled to sit down with its author, @PatrickMcGee_, the FT’s former lead Apple reporter, to discuss what the US-China relationship might look like over the next 25 years on Forecast 2050.
We discuss:

- Why the next Jony Ive will likely be Chinese
- How Chinese demographic decline could reshape the global economy
Enjoy!
