Two unofficial and unauthorized Apple retail stores have been ordered to close by Kunming, China officials. Not because of their less-than-official nature, but because neither had on official business permit.
Chinese law protects trademarks, of course, but also prevents one store from copying the "look and feel" of another. Exactly how "look and feel" is legally defined in this context is unclear. All in all, five stores were found to be selling products without authorization and two were closed.
