I wonder if the products are fakes? If so, how good are they?

That's pretty surprising, even for China. When I was touring the country in 2006, high tech consumer technology was, for the most part, quite conspicuously absent. I expected to see knock off tech products and tech stores all over, but I didn't. I guess they've caught up to my expectations, and then some.

Somehow I think calling it an Apple Stoar in not going to be a lot of help when Apples army of lawyers come calling.

Wouldn't it be awesome if those employees got paid with fake US dollar bills ?
Ah, never mind, it really doesn't matter if they re faked or from Ben's helicopter.

China crackdown bites fake Apple Stores - The Globe and Mail
Chinese officials in Kunming have ordered two fake Apple shops to close, not because of piracy or copyright concerns, but because the stores in the southwestern city did not have an official business permit.
Five self-branded “Apple Stores” were found to be selling Apple products without authorization from the California-based company but only two were told to shut, officials said.
Chinese officials in Kunming have ordered two fake Apple shops to close, not because of piracy or copyright concerns, but because the stores in the southwestern city did not have an official business permit.
An investigation into the stores was apparently sparked by a storm of media attention over an elaborate hoax Apple shop discovered by an American blogger. The order did not apply to that store, which is applying for a reseller licence with Apple, a local government spokesman said.
All the five unauthorized Apple shops in Kunming were selling genuine Apple products bought from other authorized resellers in China, Huang Yinghui, an official at the city’s business bureau, told Reuters.
