I’m absolutely devouring the recent book Apple in China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company, by Patrick McGee.
The book rapidly disabuses you of the notion that Apple is moving significant manufacturing capacity to India or the United States. For the foreseeable future, Apple and China have too many hooks in each other to decouple. The story McGee tells is on a scale that is difficult to imagine. Consider just the enormous annual investment that Apple makes in China (dwarfing the Marshall Plan annually), which is roughly as large as that made by the CHIPS Act over four years. Apple has trained 28 million workers, and its growth has relied on a population of the Chinese who experience a unique form of indenture; they are legally tied to their rural hometowns but have revocable permission to work in factories.
