More fake Apple Stores spotted by officials in China, two got shutdown

More fake Apple Stores spotted by officials in China, two got shutdown

After American expat BirdAbroad made her local stores famous last week, local officials have since been combing through the city's 300-plus gadget shops on behalf of Apple China, and managed to dig up two more “Apple” stores. It's not exactly clear if these new offenders are at the same severity as the ones spotted by BirdAbroad, but the authorities have confirmed that none of the five stores are Apple Authorised Resellers, let alone having its permission to use its logo on their store front. Additionally, two out of the five stores have since been shut down due to unlicensed retail operation.
