It appears China now has fake Apple Stores, and the employees don't seem to care they don't really work for Apple.

Apple has a fifth store in China. But it probably didn't know about this location until this week when an expat blogger called BirdAbroad wrote a post about a .

She said the store looked like an Apple Store down to the long wooden display tables, acrylic product information panels, and spiral staircase leading to the second floor. Even the employees, clad in blue t-shirt with the white Mac logo and white Apple name tags, believed that they were actually working for Apple.

The Wall Street Journal tried to look into the operation, but the store's owners were unresponsive to multiple calls. The Journal was able to get a hold of one of the employees who, despite BirdAbroad's report, appeared to know the store isn't actually an Apple Store.

"It doesn't make much of a difference to us whether we're authorized or not," he said. "I just care that what I sell every day are authentic Apple products, and that our customers don't come back to me to complain about the quality of the products. I think in Yunnan [Province], our store should be one of the best in terms of scale and the level of professionalism."

China has four official Apple Stores: two in Beijing and two in Shanghai, but other stores can become authorized Apple resellers through an application process. In fact, there are reports that major Chinese Apple product maker Foxconn is in the process of in its own retail stores. But the counterfeit Kunming store does not have this designation. It reportedly sells real Apple products, but the source of these iPads, iPods, and iPhones hasn't been revealed.

BirdAbroad said she also discovered two more faux Apple Stores in Kunming, a city with a population of 6.8 million people. One was labeled with a sign that mistakenly proclaimed, "Apple Stoer."

Apple wouldn't comment on the fake store and there is no indication whether Apple will crack down, or what they could do if they chose to.
