China, a country known for its rampant piracy, has now reached a new milestone – fake Apple stores.
An American blogger who lives in Kunming in southern Yunnan province said Thursday that she stumbled on three shops masquerading as bona fide Apple stores a few days ago.The blogger says the stores' poor construction and interior design, along with a misspelled “Apple Store” sign in front of one of them, revealed them to be bogus. Real Apple stores have only the logo in front. It was not known whether any of the devices sold in the stores were genuine Apple products, or even whether they worked.
Apple, whose iPhone and iPad computer tablets are highly popular in China, has only four officially listed stores in the country — two each in Beijing and Shanghai. There are also a number of authorized resellers, none of them located in Kunming.
China is home to the world's biggest market of counterfeit products, despite the government's repeated pledge to crack down on piracy.
