Criticism of Tim Cook

Apple CEO Tim Cook made a business trip to China last weekend. He attended a state-sponsored Chinese business summit here, which of course did not go without an appropriate response. The mere fact that Cook attended the mentioned summit was a thorn in the side of many. In addition, Tim Cook gave a speech at the event, for which he faced considerable criticism. Reuters, citing local sources, quoted a part of the speech in which Cook praised China for innovation and its long-standing relationship with Apple, among other things.
