| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor. I spoke with my colleague Fraser Howie co-author of Red Capitalism, |
| 0:05.3 | about the report in the Financial Times that Apple is in discussion with Tata Industries, |
| 0:11.0 | a giant conglomerate in India, to purchase a factory that will make iPhones in India. |
| 0:17.4 | Is this the beginning of moving the iPhone, moving American production, |
| 0:22.2 | not entirely out of China, but in a place where we're not depending upon the Chinese supply chain |
| 0:29.1 | and the whims of the government. Fraser has an answer also that what we're looking at is |
| 0:35.2 | China in decline. Here's Fraser. Basically, you've got this story of decoupling or de-rusting from |
| 0:41.9 | China is playing out in different ways of different countries. But a number of countries see opportunities |
| 0:48.2 | to basically either bring back production from China, develop new production within their own |
| 0:53.2 | countries, and also basically show to their consumer base often in the West, or in more developed |
| 0:59.3 | markets, and say, look, we're a safe non-China play. So those companies are benefiting from it. |
| 1:06.8 | It's geopolitics that play. They are more friendly towards the US and they're allies. And where China |
| 1:14.8 | is becoming the pariah, if you like, either because of just downturn in the economy, |
| 1:26.4 | ex-coupling with Russia during the war, etc. So yeah, many countries are taking advantage when |
| 1:32.8 | China is showing weakness. Gordon, have a question for Fraser. I'm John Baxter. |
