After a number of fake Apple retail stores in China gained publicity online, Apple appears to have taken legal action, undoubtedly looking to shut down the counterfeit locations designed to look like its own operations. The Apple executives never took any world history courses?
The Chi-Coms murdered an estimated 60 million of their own citizens. They care that a foreign corporation is upset about something? Where's Apple going to get their toys made if the Chi-Coms say, "No more cheap labor for you!"

Aw, c'mon! China's just making the free market a little more free. ;-) So what did Apple expect from doing business with a communist nation?
WTO helping China Loot Caterpillar americanthinker.com ^ | 10/04/2010 | Howard Richman & Raymond Richman
"
Why can’t Caterpillar make a profit exporting mini-excavators to China? The answer is simple: China has a 30% tariff on all excavators. In fact it has a similar high tariff on just about every vehicle, be it a Ford car, a GMC truck, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, or a giant mining machine made by Bucyrus International."

Apple needs to check some of it’s legitimate stores out here in Houston. The one on 1960 never answers their phone.

If fake Apple stores sells real Apple products, that would seem to suggest a diversion within the Apple factory. And you would think that would have to involve management corruption at a pretty high level. There was also news recently about a fake Ikea store, although they didn’t seem to have real Ikea merchandise.
