It would be news if you managed to find anything that was OEM in China. They have zero respect for intellectual property.

tell me about it....


I'm actually shocked when I see one of my products in Chinese packaging in a matter of weeks after release. Its a bit of a deflating feeling.

Not to say that the quality is the same, its just .... you work on a project/product, and these peeps rip you off. There isn't anything you can do.

Opening the store is "Other level" though....

Does anyone think that Apple will retaliate by closing all their manufacturing hubs in that country? I didn't think so.
