Vice Premier He Lifeng met Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the afternoon of October 12, Xinhua reported. He, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said China is deepening reform and high-level opening-up and building a market-oriented, law-based and internationalised business environment, welcoming U.S. and other global technology companies to take part in China's high-quality development and deepen cooperation.
Cook said Apple remains optimistic about the Chinese market over the long term, will continue to increase investment in China, and is willing to deepen supply-chain cooperation with Chinese companies and participate in China's high-quality development.
