I feel really terrible for the employees who work at these stores, thinking they are working for Apple. I think about how I felt when I got a job I really wanted at that age, and the joy they must have felt when they were hired, and telling all of their friends and family that they were Apple employees.
Look at the photos of the employees. They look so sincere and earnest. I can only imagine the disappointment they will feel one day when they find out they're working for a con man.
I'd love it if this story ended with "and then Apple, seeing how badly Kunming wanted to have an Apple Store, came along, built a real one, and hired all the employees at the new, legitimate store."

It's not out of pure malice that prevents Apple from segmenting markets-- if the iPad sold in China is too much cheaper than the iPad sold in America, then people will just purchase iPads by the thousand to resell them in America.
