BEIJING: Apple Inc chief executive Tim Cook visited Beijing on May 16, days after announcing a US$1bil (RM4.02bil) deal with ride-hailing app Didi Chuxing, and as the US firm tries to reinvigorate sales in China, its second-largest market after the United States. 

From weakening smartphone sales to the loss of an iPhone trademark dispute and the suspension of some of its online entertainment services, Apple has been facing a flurry of problems in recent weeks in China.
