It was Cook’s second appearance in China in two months, following a meeting with President Xi Jinping in October. Cook’s comments come at a pivotal point for the company’s future in China, which is now its biggest market outside of North America. “There are many small and medium businesses in China who take advantage of Google to get their products to many other countries outside of China,” he said.
