On March 27, an Apple spokesman in Beijing said yesterday that Cook had held "significant talks" with Chinese officials and said: "China is very important to us and we look forward to being able to do more here. Investment and achieve greater growth." But he did not disclose more information.

Apple CEO Tim Cook visited Beijing yesterday and personally inspected the Apple retail store in Beijing Xidan Joy City, and also took photos with many customers. Cook said last October that China is Apple's second largest market, second only to the United States. On January 24 this year, he said at the Apple Financial News conference that the demand for the iPhone in the Chinese market was “surprising” and that Apple “had not been able to make enough expectations” at that time.

Apple’s cooperation with China Telecom earlier this month has nearly doubled its potential iPhone users. In addition, although China Mobile has not yet cooperated with Apple, its 2G and WiFi network has reached 15 million iPhone users.
