When you pack your bag to China.
You have many reasons such as China’s the fastest growing economy and its valuable culture, which can inspire you to make a decision to go to this one which is the biggest country in Asia continent.

However, recently  the interjection from people’s mouth around the world appear “oh!” or “Oops!” with the news that obviously surprise people who fascinate the product of Steve Jobs about fake Apple Store in Kunming.
Is it possible to copy the Apple Store?
The surprising answer is yes.


“They looked like Apple products. It looked like an Apple store. It had the classic Apple store winding staircase and weird upstairs sitting area. The employees were even wearing those blue t-shirts with the chunky Apple name tags around their necks.”  This is the description about the fake store in Kunming which is told by

But in fact, Apple’s own website indicates that they have a few stores in Beijing and Shanghai, opened only recently.


In my view, I feel quite shocking toward this news. I never imagine that some business owner will copy the all features of Apple store and put it into the fake store which customers have no doubt and think that it is the real store. Moreover, they buy the products from these places. Is it possible that it has other kinds of copying stores with another brand product?  And who will investigate the license and quality of shop for protecting unreal store around the world in the future are the big two question for authority in this issue. Furthermore, I think one group of people who are ruined from this news, are the employees.

As you can see from the news ‘China officials close fake Apple stores in Kunming city’ on BBC website, the sales employees think that they work for Apple which is the top of most creative company in the world. They may feel proud and happy with their job. But when they have to stop their selling speech and stop welcome smiling because of their fake store is closed. They may feel disappointing because of what they believe. Those people becomes unemployed with no guilty.

In this moment, the publicity, trade officials investigated and found five stores in Kunming posing as official Apple retail outlets. Two of the five have now been closed as their owners lacked a business license.


To conclude, I want to left  some message when you travel to Kunming which is the capital and largest city of Yunnan Province in Southwest China that


“Don’t Judge the book by its cover because you may face with a fake store like this case in your trip”







Thanks for reading my article :)
