and they all sell genuine Apple products for over MSRP. So I don't see whats so special about an Apple reseller making them self looks like the Apple Store  | |

i knew your reasoning would be retarded as always
both articles are named Fake Apple Stores
all 3 stores brand themselves as the Apple Store
you're reasoning is "well we sell apple products so of course" sounds like when a chinese store here gets caught selling fakes and they're like "i dunnnnnnnnnoooooo"

Its only you ppl that never really been out of the lower mainland would be still be surprised at this shit.
I've got quite a few prime real estate location in China, and the real apple store want to be in my location also a lot of fake reseller claiming to be Apple wants the location also.

Are the products real though? I can't believe that there are fake DS lite, fake games, and even fake rom cards nowadays that work pretty much like the real thing. won't be long before they can copy just about anything.
But I dunno real = made in china, fake = made in china. There is no spoon.  Posted via RS Mobile | |

To be honest, they are probably selling real apple products even though the store is a fake. Hyde is semi correct, most of the apple reseller stores in Asia do look quite similiar to the official store, its just that this one even copied the name. If it wasn't for the name, most people wouldn't care.
Regardless, Steve Jobs must be laughing. In the end, it just means more sales for Apple fake or not! Posted via RS Mobile | |

Just heard about this on radio this morning. They were saying that there are no authorized resellers in that city. Even the employees don't know that it's a fake store. Lol.

The only way Apple is going to get involved is if they sell something in that store that is against Apple policy. Every Apple store sells almost exactly the same thing. If this place deviates with all the fake or pirated garbage that's everywhere in China, then I'd imagine Apple would have to step in. Quote:

Officials close fake Apple stores in Kunming city, China
China has moved to shut down several fake Apple stores found in Kunming city.
Three of the elaborate fake stores, which mimicked the look of the real thing, came to the world's attention after being exposed on a blog.
Following the publicity, trade officials investigated and found five stores in Kunming posing as official Apple retail outlets.
Two of the five have now been closed as their owners lacked a business licence.
The BirdAbroad blog, written by an American woman living in Kunming, wrote about a visit to one fake Apple store which superficially resembled the official outlets.
In the article, the blogger wrote about conversations with staff, many of whom were convinced they worked for the US electronics firm.
Chinese officials investigated the shop visited by BirdAbroad but it was not one of those closed down. It has a licence to trade and is selling genuine Apple products.
Apple has said it has no comment to make on the discovery of the counterfeit shops.
...
A further check revealed that none of the three stores she found are mentioned on Apple's list of official resellers known to be trading in Kunming.
What was also unclear was where the fake store had got the Apple products on sale - whether they had come from an Apple distributor or a grey market source.
The blog entry mentioning the visit to the fake store has proved hugely popular and has gathered more than 500,000 visits in less than 48 hours.
