Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc, visited an Apple store in Beijing on Monday morning. He was accompanied by Liu Qing, president of Didi Chuxing, the largest ride-hailing service provider in China.
His visit came shortly after the California-based company announced on Friday it had pumped US$1 billion into Didi Chuxing, which is battling with Uber Technologies Inc for supremacy in the booming car-hailing sector.
Sources told China Daily that Tim Cook was in Beijing for an Apple Store developer activity where Liu acted as an emcee.
The two executives came to the Apple store by hailing a taxi via Didi's mobile platform.
Didi handles more than 11 million rides a day and has an estimated valuation of $25 billion.
