Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company

Apple deserves its place as one of the most influential players in modern Chinese history. It helped accelerate Chinese industrial capacity at massive scale and tuned it for one of the most demanding buyers in consumer technology. Apple’s system created mutual dependency, and after reading it, I look at Apple very differently when it comes to the power a corporation can have over a country’s trajectory. It made me wonder what other companies have had comparable influence on sovereign nations.
