China’s second-largest mobile phone carrier, China Unicom, said yesterday that is willing to hold talks to make Apple’s popular iPhone device available in the Chinese market.

“It seems that iPhone is hot in some markets. We are willing to discuss with Apple,” said China Unicom executive, Li Zhengmao, at the GSMA Mobile Asia Congress in Macau.

Zhengmao cautioned, however, that China Unicom hadn’t yet talked with Apple about the device, and that its main rival, China Mobile Ltd. is already negotiating with the American hardware giant. It is not yet clear whether a possible deal between Apple and China Mobile would be exclusive.

So far, the Apple iPhone has been made available in the United States, Britain, and Germany, and will make its debut in France later this month.
