Apple has opened up four "real" Apple stores in Shanghai and Beijing. A blogger found a beautiful knockoff Apple store in Kunming, looks perfectly official and products look "almost" real. No surprise Blogger discovers trio of perfectly rendered knockoff Apple stores in China | Technology News Blog - Yahoo! News
I don't know why it wouldn't be almost perfectly real. Everything that Apple is comes from China anyway. Why should they pay long-nose middleman the big bucks?
I had to laugh. Today I read that after the blogger's story got worldwide attention, the Kunming authorities visited all 5(five) fake Apple stores in kunMing, and shut TWO down, because they didn't have any business licences! The other 3 were apparently OK because they were selling real Apple goods. The fact that they have no distribution licence to sell those real goods seems to be lost on the authorities there!
