China’s Commerce Minister, Wang Wentao, expressed to Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday that the company is welcome to expand its investments in China. The two leaders discussed topics including Apple’s business development within China and the broader China-U.S. economic and trade relations.
Their conversation took place during the China Development Forum in Beijing, an event attended by foreign CEOs. Some of the attendees are expected to meet President Xi Jinping later this week, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
