From the look of the store employees were known to fake it 'serious' in copying Apple. Clad in a blue t-shirt with the logo and name tag Apple Macs are white, as if they were employees of a real Apple.
From this store, only one thing that distinguishes it from the official Apple store, the word 'Apple Store' near the white apple logo typical of Apple. Apple itself had never put the text outside his shop.
For business to be authorized resellers, Apple actually allow other stores to become part of them through the application process, but the store is located in Kunming is not through the process. The source of the goods sold in stores is also not clear whether they get it from distributors or from the black market.
