Tim Cook also called for “calm heads” and more open trade, amid rising fears of a trade war between the United States and China.
“My belief is that one plus one equals three. The pie gets larger if we work together,” Cook said.
“Businesses should be engaged with governments in countries where they are doing business, whether they agree or disagree,” Cook said.
Apple has sought to expand its services in China, its third-largest market, where roughly 1.8 million developers use its platform.
Cook has come to China several times in the past year, and was among the executives who met Chinese President Xi Jinping last October.
China’s Commerce Ministry on Friday urged the United States to “pull back from the brink,” saying it was not afraid to engage in a trade war.
