Cook began by making it clear to the employees that Apple is working very hard to make more watches. He went ahead to joke that his company wishes it had more engineers and staff to ensure the launch is even more smoother, as per reports by Silicon Angle.

He promised the attendees that Apple Stores would begin stocking the watches by June. For the first time, Apple's CEO confirmed that the forthcoming launch will include introducing the company's stores in that country, according to 9to5 mac.

Reportedly, countless employees in attendance asked Cook about his company's Pay rollout in China. The CEO revealed that part of his reason for visiting China was to hold talks with potential Apple Pay partners in China. During his trip, Eddy Cue, Apple's Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, accompanied Cook.

During the meeting at the company's headquarters in China, Cook was put to task to explain whether he believes China can beat U.S. as the country or region that rakes in most revenue for Apple.

He said that he believes China will beat the U.S, and that it was only a matter of time. Cook added that predicting the exact time that it will happen is very difficult. He said that if  Apple does what is expected right, then China can surpass the U.S.
