Cook's visit comes as competition between the U.S. tech giant
and China's Huawei heats up in Apple's third-largest market, and
as Beijing tightens oversight on security concerns.
Sales of iPhone 15 models in their first 17 days in China were
down 4.5% compared to the iPhone 14, Counterpoint Research said,
without providing specific figures.
China in September widened curbs on the use of iPhones by state
employees, telling staff at some central government agencies to
stop using their Apple handsets at work.
"China is willing to provide more opportunities for
foreign-funded enterprises including Apple to develop in the
country," Ding told Cook in a meeting on Thursday, according to
Chinese state radio.
Cook said Apple was confident in the prospects of Chinese
market, and was willing to strengthen cooperation with China in
fields including high-end manufacturing and digital economy, the
state radio reported.
