Apple CEO Tim Cook Meets POP MART Founder at Apple Park

Apple CEO Tim Cook welcomed POP MART founder Wang Ning and his team to the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California, according to a post on the social media platform Weibo. The meeting included a photo with John Ternus, who is set to succeed Cook as CEO.

This visit follows approximately nine months after their previous public interaction. During his visit, Wang Ning presented Cook with a collectible LABUBU character ZIMOMO figure. The engagement highlights a sustained level of interaction between Apple and the art toy company.

Cook has previously demonstrated support for POP MART. In October of the previous year, during a trip to China, Cook visited an exhibition dedicated to POP MART's intellectual property, THE MONSTERS, in Shanghai. This visit to the exhibition was noted as an early stop during his business trip in the region.
