Speaking of his meeting with Xi, Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, said on his Facebook account: "On a personal note, this was the first time I've ever spoken with a world leader entirely in a foreign language. I consider that a meaningful personal milestone. It was an honor to meet President Xi and other leaders."

But Zhou said Cook seemed to be more interested in an APP on the cell phone that could tell ages of photo takers although Cook believed the APP still needs improvement as it was designed for the Asians, but not for the Western people.
