I mean, it would be a potential political own-goal to put a new CEO in that slot in a high stakes room with other players, when the old CEO still leads the board and has the relationships with both country leaderships.

As chairman of the board that’s his responsibility- not this CEOs. This was outlined by Apple. This is not news.

Does Xi have people who provide his own vetted food and drink at these types of state dinners? I wouldn’t eat or drink anything the CCP puts in front of me. Same goes for this Trump Zio-Admin. Bringing my own General Tso’s chicken thank you very much.

Tim shifted Apple’s supply chain away from China. Everything about the state visit has been a veiled fuck you on both sides. Xi implying China will displace the United States is openly insulting. War it is.

Tim Apple and The Don have had a long working relationship. Probably Tim Apple’s (lol) last big shindig.

During the Tim Cook era, around $600-$900 billion flowed to China from America and stayed there. As a former POTUS might say, Xi didn’t build China. Somebody else…made that happen.

Maybe the invite went out when Tim Apple was still CEO at Apple.

He's chairman of the board and the new CEO doesn't seem like a serious person

He is still the Chairman of the Board…

Tim’s role as Executive Chairman mostly has to do with him handling government relations, etc. Makes sense he is handling this and Apple probably organised it that way.

Tim is technically the boss of the current Apple CEO, as Chairman of the Board.

Replying to @zerohedge
That literally is his role now. It would not be ideal for the current ceo to do this since he is busy with other projects.

CEOs are workers. Chairmen are elite. Capitalists are above all. Politicians are clowns.

He's still chairman, and he was King of Apple for decades. I think it was nice because Tim Cook broke ground on so many American factories.

He is the chairman of the board after all….. so he is still the head honcho of Apple.
