Apple CEO Cook: China's manufacturing industry has already far surpassed the United States

China pays great attention to manufacturing. Take what we call 'professional skills' for example: vocational skills in the US are no longer comparable to those in China. I mean, if you add up all the American tooling and moulding companies, it probably fills the room. But in China, it is estimated to fill several rugby fields. Recently, in the latest episode of the US news program '60 Pointsorientation and many other issues. The entire interview wasn’t anything but a blast. Cook didn’t talk about driverless cars or drone delivery services. He did mention some interesting things, though, including Apple spending $5 billion on a new headquarters and hiring 800 engineers to design iPhone cameras. It's also worth noting, however, that Cook also took a stand on some of the issues that have long plagued Apple's public relations department. On tax avoidance: Ross: Congress believes that Apple has $74 billion in overseas revenue, but it uses a complex mechanism to avoid tax. Cook: This is purely political nonsense and has no factual basis at all. Apple has never missed a penny in taxes. About Made in China: Cook: China pays great attention to manufacturing.
