Author Patrick McGee: China’s singular manufacturing capabilities—in price, cost, quantity, and scale—has only been possible because Apple made unprecedented investments in building them. “Apple is investing in China at twice the annual spend of the Marshall Plan.”

Author Patrick McGee: “In 1999, zero products from Apple are being made in China. By 2009, virtually all of them are. And that transition is a geopolitical event like the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

Apple is investing 2x more money in China than the United States invested in saving all of Europe after WW2 (PER YEAR) “Apple investing $55 billion PER YEAR in China” “3 million people are assembling iPhones and other Mac products in China” “Apple is investing quadruple what the Commerce Secretary called a once in a generation investment in America.” “I figured out that Apple was investing by 2015, $55 billion a year into China. So $55 billion is a year.” “I take the Marshall plan spending from 1948 to 1952. This is sort of like America saving, saving Europe after the World War II, and you convert it to 2015 money, and it's half the annual spending of what Apple's investing in China. This is $130 billion in 16 countries. 16 countries versus 1 country. — It's like the modern equivalent of the Soviet Union, like it's our biggest adversary.”

How China cornered Apple: “The Chinese don’t play chess. The Chinese play Go. In Go, you encircle your enemy & there is no decisive move. The opponent actually just has to give up. That’s where I think Apple is right now. Their production plants are basically encircled by Chinese competitors they themselves created & they’re in a position where they can’t make any good moves. I don’t know what I would do if I was Tim Cook.” Patrick McGee (Patrick McGee), Author of Apple in China

Tim Cook explains why Apple manufactures products in China. The true reason is because of the skill, the quantity of skill in one location, and the type of skill it is. Not because of labor cost since China stopped being a low labour cost country many years ago. The Apple CEO elaborated on the advanced tooling and precision required to produce the products and highlighted China's vocational expertise in these areas.

Author Patrick McGee: The West “sleepwalked” into making China a global powerhouse. Corporations like Apple “were setting up the world’s most sophisticated supply chain—and made the rookie and calamitous mistake of putting all their eggs in one basket. And that basket transformed into a surveillance state.” Full episode:

President Trump will be joined by more than a dozen top U.S. business executives during his trip to China, including Elon Musk, Larry Fink and Tim Cook. CBS News contributor Patrick McGee, author of the book, “Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company,” says the lineup signals the summit is meant to focus on trade and investment, not "Cold War issues."

Tim Cook and Treachery for Profit A Sunday New York Times profile of outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook implicitly confirmed his status as the preeminent member of what the Communist Chinese contemptuously call our “captured elite.” In practice, that means he and his company profited immeasurably by systematically betraying this country. Patrick McGee, the author of Apple in China, wrote: “Based on my research, I am convinced that no company has done more to enable President Xi. Since 2008, Apple has worked with suppliers to train 30 million workers, principally in China…facilitat[ing] an epic transfer of practical knowledge in how to make things to hundreds of Chinese factories.” Regretably, Cook’s treachery is not unique. Untold numbers of Wall Street’s “masters of the universe” have used the funds of pensioners, investors in mutual funds and other clients to underwrite China’s menacing military build-up. Treason must no longer pay.

Apple CEO Tim Cook on "low manufacturing wage" in China: "The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor costs. I'm not sure what part of China they go to, but the China stopped being the low labor cost country years ago. That is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill."

"We believe the concept of Apple producing iPhones in the U.S. is a fairy tale that is not feasible." Why? The economics are brutal. Higher-end iPhones would cost up to $3,500 each if made in America. That's double the current price. But Apple clearly got the message...

8. Sunk Cost Fallacy We continue investing in something because of past investments, not future value. Finishing a bad book because you're "halfway through" Staying in a bad relationship because "we've been together so long" The past cost is irrelevant to future decisions.
