Since the original breaking of the Chinese fake Apple Stores news last week, there has been a flurry of activity. Chinese authorities began investigating the stores over the weekend. Chinese customers demanded refunds even though they products were real.
Today, Bloomberg is reporting that two of the five stores investigated have been shut down.
Apple currently has four stores in China. While that number will increase greatly over the next year, it isn’t surprising to see local businesses trying to fill the void in the interim.
Three separate unauthorized Apple stores, which were also investigated, had operating licenses, according to the Dushi Shibao newspaper report, which was posted on the Kunming city government’s website. Officials inspected more than 300 vendors of electronic products in the city, Dushi reported.
