In this episode of China Decode, hosts Alice Han and James Kynge unpack China’s high-stakes push for tech independence, from Moore Threads’ explosive IPO to Beijing’s drive to build a homegrown alternative to Nvidia. They also explore why the renminbi (CNY) remains deeply undervalued despite calls for a stronger yuan. Later, they sit down with Patrick McGee, author of Apple in China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company, to discuss Apple’s deep reliance on China and the broader political and commercial leverage Beijing now wields over Western companies.
