On the evening of November 15, a meeting between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and the leadership of large American companies took place in San Francisco, which was attended by more than 300 people.
Among them: And Maslon, Tim Cook and the head of the award, Albert Bourla. Everyone who wanted to sit at the same table with Jinping at a business dinner paid $40 thousand (8 seats in total), Tim Cook was one of these people.
Cook sat next to Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao. This may be a “strategic placement,” the NY Post notes, given that China accounts for about a fifth of Apple’s hardware sales.
