"Foxconn's exponential growth was largely due to founder Terry Gou's cultivation of a relationship with Apple, which transformed the company into the world's largest electronic manufacturer."
"From 1949 until 1978, mainland China was largely shut off from outsiders, undergoing upheavals under Mao, whose policies led to significant economic and humanitarian crises."
In 2025, Patrick McGee published 'Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company,' detailing Apple's investment and reliance on China. The book highlights Foxconn's evolution, driven by founder Terry Gou's strategic partnership with Apple. This relationship was pivotal in Foxconn's growth from a basic supplier to the largest electronic manufacturer globally. The historical context of China's isolation from 1949 to 1978 under Mao's leadership is also explored, emphasizing the challenges faced during that period.
