    No further plans during the China visit is disclosed

    In a Weibo post, Cook shared his morning stroll along Shanghai’s Bund River with Chinese actor Zheng Kai and mentioned enjoying a local breakfast, withholding details of his further plans during the China visit.

    The China Daily disclosed that Cook stated in an interview the unparalleled significance of China’s supply chain to Apple.

    Furthermore, Cook convened with Wang Chuanfu, the founder and president of Apple supplier BYD Electronics, along with officials from Lens Technology, at the firm’s Shanghai office, as reported by the China Daily.

    A new retail store will open in the core of China’s financial centre

    Cook’s visit follows Apple’s recent announcement of launching a new retail store in the core of China’s financial centre, amidst declining iPhone sales and increasing competition from local rivals such as Huawei.

    Last year, Cook visited China twice, recognising it as Apple’s third-largest revenue market, with one of the trips including a visit to an Apple store in Beijing and participation in the China Development Forum.
