Apple Inc chief executive officer Tim Cook visited China for the second time in less than 10 months, attaching great importance to the world's biggest mobile phone market.
Cook met with Miao Wei, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, on Tuesday, and discussed the development of China's information technology industry, global mobile communications and Apple's business in China, according to a statement on the ministry's website.
Chinese media reported that Cook was seen smiling in front of China United Network Communications Group Co Ltd's building in Beijing on Wednesday morning.
"Cook was very satisfied on China Unicom's iPhone 5 handset sales," said an official from China Unicom, who asked not to be named.
China Unicom was the first telecom carrier on the Chinese mainland to offer Apple's iPhone handsets with a contract. The company began offering the iPhone 5 on Dec 14.
A micro blog from China Unicom confirmed Cook's visit on Wednesday afternoon, saying Cook and his colleagues met high-level management at China Unicom. "The meeting went pretty well," the micro blog said.
Some Beijing residents said on Sina Weibo that they saw Cook in Beijing's central business district and shared photos of him. Wearing a black coat, the gray-haired Cook seemed at ease and was very amiable.
