And the guest list reflected just how important Beijing is to America's titans of technology. The guests included Mark Zuckerberg, who is trying to persuade the Chinese government to lift a ban on Facebook, the company he founded, and Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple, which sells more iPhones in China than in any other country.

Also on the list were Satya Nadella, the chief executive of Microsoft, which wants China to approve sales of its latest operating system, Windows 10; Larry Ellison, the executive chairman of Oracle; and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the chief executive of DreamWorks Animation.

Mr. Zuckerberg, Mr. Cook and Mr. Nadella were seated at the head table with Mr. Obama and President Xi Jinping of China. The tech executives arrived just hours after Mr. Xi said in a news conference that his nation and the United States had reached consensus on a "joint fight against cybercrimes." American officials have accused China of stealing millions of personnel records from federal computer systems.

I have the same experience you do, NYT is not viewable with a "normal" browser. I use "lynx," a text-only or text-based browser, to view NYT. "lynx" is available in a Windows compatible form.

So much for accuracy. The country where Apple sells the highest number of iPhones, far more than they ever sell in China, is the United States. Always has been. Likely always will be. Last quarter of 2017, Apple sold 22 million iPhones in the US, about 12 million in China.
