Apple CEO meets Chinese regulator after pulling Hong Kong app
- Monday | 21st October, 2019
BEIJING (Reuters) – Apple Inc Chief Executive Tim Cook met the chief of China’s market regulator in Beijing on Thursday, the Chinese agency said, a week after the US firm was thrust into political tensions between the mainland and protesters in Hong Kong. Apple last week removed from its app store an app that helped Hong Kong protesters track police movements after a Chinese state newspaper sharply criticised it for allowing the software. Cook had defended the removal in the face of criticism for appeasing mainland China, telling Apple workers that “this decision best protects our users”. China is a key market for Apple. Cook’s meeting Thursday came as China prepares to host the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen in China’s eastern Zhejiang province.
