Tim Cook is Back in China Meeting with Government Leaders

Tim Cook Visits China

Marking his second visit to China since taking over as CEO of Apple, Tim Cook has apparently spent some portion of his trip meeting with government officials. While details of the meetings are not immediately clear, we can only assume Cook is looking to keep solid relations with the country producing and consuming a vital portion of Apple’s products.

Cook met with Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology head Miao Wei on Tuesday, according to a post on the Ministry’s site (via Bloomberg). Wei and Cook discussed the global communications industry, with a focus on further development in China.

Back in March of 2012, Cook visited China to tour a Foxconn manufacturing facility, the site of ongoing labor turmoil. Cook had previously visited the country as Apple’s COO in 2010.
