The stronghold retail well beyond the simple imitation of consumer products, China has is rich in these fake. Sometimes, indeed, they are not even in sell fakes: last month, this kind of phenomenon attract international concern, kunming a foreign bloggers to upload the kunming a fortress apple store photos, this store's design and the atmosphere and really apple authorized retail sales were extremely similar, iPad and iPhone, and without obtaining quality goods apple authorized as apple store.
