WASHINGTON - Missouriar -- Worldwide Speakers Group (WWSG), a global leader in connecting elite speakers with audiences who seek transformative ideas, is proud to announce a new partnership with renowned journalist and author Patrick McGee. McGee's book, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company, released by Simon & Schuster May 13, is generating buzz among business leaders, tech insiders, and global affairs experts—and now, he's available for select keynote addresses, panels, and fireside chats exclusively through WWSG.

For readers of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson or Chip War by fellow WWSG-exclusive speaker Chris Miller, Apple in China is a riveting, behind-the-scenes account of how Apple's pursuit of efficiency and growth helped fuel China's rise as the global electronics powerhouse. Based on over 200 interviews, internal memos, and never-before-reported accounts, McGee's book explores how America's most iconic company became deeply enmeshed with an authoritarian regime—unintentionally giving Beijing a technological edge that could be turned into geopolitical leverage.
