Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook is visiting China for at least the third time this year, showing up at a suppliers' conference on the same day a top Beijing official convened an important meeting with a group of foreign CEOs.

Prior to the expo, Cook and other top executives met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang. The meeting, as reported by the American Chamber of Commerce in China, focused on enhancing economic and trade cooperation. Representatives from companies like Corning and Rio Tinto were also present.

Apple CEO Tim Cook turned up at a supply chain conference in Beijing on Monday, his third public appearance in China this year, as the executive courts the world's biggest smartphone market amid an iPhone sales slump and uncertainty around the local launch of the Apple Intelligence system.

Cook’s appearance in China comes as Apple grapples with sluggish iPhone sales in the country, with its latest line of devices seeing only middling demand. Heightened competition from local players, including Huawei, as well as increased government scrutiny against the company, have also weighed on sales.
