    Apple CEO Visits Beijing [Twitter Reaction]

    Believe it or not, Beijing has one of the best selling Apple outlets in the world. Also, most of Apple’s products are manufactured in China so, it should come as no surprise that Apple CEO, Tim Cook decided to take a visit to the country.

    Today he was found mingling with Chinese consumers at the outlet store in Joy City. The store opened on September 26, 2010 and sold record numbers of products to a vast sea of consumers.

    While it is not clear what other business Cook had in the city, some speculate that it has something to do with a new iPhone. While details on the visit are hard to come by, sometimes it’s just fun to speculate.

    Let’s see what folks on Twitter think about the visit:

    Apple CEO Tim Cook Visits China

    Apple’s Tim Cook was reportedly spotted in an Apple Store in Beijing’s Xidan province, making him the first Apple CEO to visit that country.

    This isn’t the first time Cook visited the world’s most populous country – Steve Jobs once sent him there to address issues with Apple parts supplier Foxconn.

    Cook visited China for talks with China Telecom, the mobile carrier that recently began to support Apple’s iPhone 4S. There is also speculation that Cook might be in China to sort out patent infringement issues with Proview, which has hindered the release of the new iPad in that country.

    According to an Apple spokesperson, Cook was “meeting with officials – China is very important to us and we look forward to even greater investment and growth here.”

    The issue with Proview has become Apple’s largest hurdle regarding the formal introduction of the new iPad in China. Though it was just reported that the new iPad passed another of China’s regulatory hurdles, after the China Quality Certification Center gave the tablet China Compulsory Certification.
