Tim Cook Visits Labubu’s 10th Anniversary Exhibit in Shanghai

Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off his highly anticipated trip to the Chinese mainland with a splash of color and creativity at Pop Mart's Labubu 'THE MONSTERS' 10th anniversary exhibit in Shanghai on Monday. The showcase, which brings together art, design and collectible culture, offered Cook a first-hand look at one of the Chinese mainland's homegrown phenomena in the world of designer toys.

Shanghai's loft-style gallery space was filled with the signature Labubu character—an adorable yet mischievous bunny-like creature—rendered in dozens of unexpected variants, from metallic finishes to glow-in-the-dark editions. For Tim Cook, known worldwide for steering Apple through major product launches, the exhibit highlighted parallels between tech innovation and creative play.

'Labubu represents an entire generation of digital natives who embrace art, storytelling and community,' Cook said as he explored the immersive installations. The CEO's visit drew crowds of fans, influencers and local entrepreneurs eager to catch a glimpse of how global tech leadership intersects with the Chinese mainland's booming pop culture market.

For young global citizens and business enthusiasts alike, Cook's stop at Pop Mart is more than a photo op—it's a sign of the growing importance of creative industries in shaping future tech ecosystems. Esports teams, streetwear brands and startup founders mingled with art collectors, signaling an era where collaboration across creative and technological frontiers is the new normal.

As Cook travels through the Chinese mainland, eyes from Silicon Valley to Shanghai will be watching. His engagement with local innovators—and his embrace of cultural milestones like Labubu's 10th anniversary—underscores a broader story: in a world increasingly driven by experience and imagination, leaders who bridge tech and art are charting a course for the next wave of global trends.
