Fake apples

Yikes when you think you have seen it all something like this pops up.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/20/the-ultimate-kirf-fake-apple-store-spotted-in-china/
Apparently (according to BBC news on iphone today) there are three stores like this in the same city.
How?
Where do they get stock?
-
they make the stock... China makes everything... it's a massive nation of labor, there are factories everywhere, half of them or more do nothing but make knock offs of one kind or another. the other half are manufacturing things to sell to american companies so they can sell it to us. have you never seen the huge open knock off markets in China?
-
I have seen fake designer clothing, fake perfumes, fake toys, maybe even a few fake electronics like TV's, DVD's, lots of pirated software ect, but never Apple products including the whole damn store.
Live and learn.

Even worse, every second apple grows in China...
-
Why fakes ?
As they make also the original!
-
when the iPad was due to be released China had them before even Apple released. of course they weren't as good... it's like they said oh you want small flat computer? we can do that real cheap. and they did. so why not just market that to us directly instead of making it a fake something else? it was only like 99$ too I would have bought one. if it hadn't been illegal to import it.

If an Apple hardware is a knock off, then when they sign on a Apple site, won't Apple be able to check cyphered certificates, or are those successfully counterfeit too? Didn't something like that happen before with downloading apps., or music, on a fake phone?
