It was  a great surprise that world received the news that experts in piracy in China were able to fake an entire Apple store. After this discovery was announced, the city authorities decided to show where they are service and started to go after the owners of this franchise unauthorized and close them. Or at least two of them.


According to report from Reuters, the shops were ordered to be closed will be unofficially represented by a giant apple, but because they had no license to operate in the city. "It is important to note that none of the stores sell fake products from Apple," officials say they are investigating establishments.

The third store, which was originally discovered by an American blogger, is negotiating a license with Apple to become an authorized reseller, according to members of local government. The question is whether the company intends to leave it, by charging only a caraminguás licenciação, or will cause enormous changes to the shop complies with those standards resale.

Knowing about how Apple operates, I'm guessing the second option is more likely.
