China's fake Apple Stores (Guardian article)
3 "Apple Stores" have been discovered in the South of China that don't actually belong to Apple, though apparantly they are selling Genuine products.

The stores maybe fake but if the products are genuine then I don't see a problem with that after all its just a Apple sign outside. |

at the very least, what is wrong is that they are conning/confusing people (even their own staff apparently) into thinking they are dealing with the real Apple not to mention use of trademarks in store branding etc

Its of course wrong to mislead people so maybe they need to be more clear about that but they must be purchasing all their stock officially from Apple as Apple only supply to official resellers and dealers so they are kind of doing Apple a favour

last I read they were grey imports which, even in UK on Tottenham Court Road was frowned upon for many years, but even they have cleaned up their act.

Even with grey imports they are still doing Apple a favour by selling their products and giving them lots of free advertising. |
