China Development Forum 2026 — Apple CEO Tim Cook Backs Beijing's "Certainty"

The China Development Forum 2026 opened with Premier Li Qiang declaring China's development offers "certainty." Apple CEO Tim Cook, co-chairing, publicly praised China's innovation and stability — a remarkable endorsement during US-China tensions.

When Apple's CEO publicly backs China during a US war, that is a trillion-dollar signal. Ghana's trade strategy must be genuinely multi-polar — maintaining strong relationships with both China and the West, committing exclusively to neither.
