> Sorry to be the buzz kill here, but this isn’t the first fake Apple store in China. It might be the best fake Apple store so far, but I know for example that there has been at least one fake Apple store here in Beijing for many years. It never occurred to me that I should call the New York Times and give them a scoop, though.

> OK, yeah, that is mildly interesting. But I could come up with a lot of examples of other amazingly good fakes in China. Again, that’s not exactly news.

Translation: I am jealous that I didn't realize that people would find this interesting and win that traffic for myself, so in classic sour grapes fashion, I am designating this 'not news'.

Nothing to see here, move along.
