Chinese authorities in Kunming have located another 22 fake Apple Stores following a media frenzy that revealed unauthorized retailers were cloning official stores.

China's Administration for Industry and Commerce in the Yunnan provincial capital said the stores have been ordered to stop using Apple's logo after Apple China accused them of unfair competition and violating its registered trademark, state media said on Thursday.

What's the community pulse on this subject? ... I find it somewhat interesting that this is happening in China- yes I'm aware of black markets and the nature of Chinese production vs. Leaks/knock-offs and how quickly it happens outside of what I understand of American copyright- but what's the opinion? ||| does this not happen to be one of the most opportune situations for China to step up and demonstrate that it will protect commercialism? Apple has, after all, just become one of the world's most valuable companies... ||| seems a great time to shift business world opinions
