This guy is claiming Apple built China as the technological powerhouse and threat to the US it is today. To me it sounds like business as usual and so what?
I did not watch the video, and have no intention to buy that book.
In my view, that is all bs what he is saying. That is so typically American, who pat themselves on the back.
Apple is a for profit corporation. They will not be training anyone to make their phones. They will ask around, want to see some samples, visit a factory to inspect. They will not go around training others.
The truth is, China was improving but was not good enough for Apple, who had extremely exacting standards for their products. That was the past. Today China is better than anyone at manufacturing especially at scale.
All this really means, at least how I see it, that the plan for China 2025 actually worked.
Now here is some white guy trying to take credit for China 2025 on the behalf of Apple Inc. who did not ask for that.
The point here is to sell books. Nothing more, nothing less.
