*Tim Cook to attend 👍 state-run internet conference in China 🇨🇳 next week*

According to The Wall Street Journal, Cook is "the most prominent executive from a U.S. company" who will be in attendance...

"China's power will contribute to the governance of the global internet," Ren Xianliang, the deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, said in a news conference last month.

"We will show the world China's plan of jointly building a cyberspace community that shares a common destiny," Mr. Ren said.

Cook's attendance at the event in China comes as Apple works to grow the iPhone's success in the country, while it also continues fighting increased censorship requests from the local government.

Cook attributed this decision to Apple being forced to comply with law enforcement in countries where Apple does business: "We would obviously rather not remove the apps, but like we do in other countries, we follow the law wherever we do business.
