Hehe China is very funny. Another class action suit showing it's nose? ^^

[citation][nom]mianmian[/nom]That's more than 10 years ago. But indeed Hong Kong is a very special region that a normal chines need to obtain a special permit to travel there.[/citation]

It is a so-called "special region" but tons of the upper class residents are still from mainland China. Additionally its already been noted that its special region status still takes a back seat to CCP request and demands regarding certain laws, regulations and censorship demands. Keeping in mind that the low-end iPad runs relatively about $1,000 in China and HK, it does put a lot of influential people at odd with smuggler runners; its a huge profit jump for all of these individuals involved.

Makes you wonder if they should just open more fake Apple stores.

[citation][nom]au_equus[/nom]correction 150yrs, after the 1st and 2nd opium wars. I've been to HK several times since the change over, not much has changed on the average street scene. a somewhat democratic system exists there and I've even seen the falun gong hold demonstrations in kowloon. although mainland chinese need special permits to enter HK, citizens of HK are not held to such restrictions. but the irony here is just too sad[/citation]

That would be a long shot.

it's not even an illegal product. it's produced right there.

You realize that's not possible, right? To solve 2 unknowns you need 2 equations.

Usuaully stealing is stealing, but of it though is probably that of what is stealing and stolen. But on ideas of ipads Apple is still think enquiring on make of say the ipads there.

If someone pays you for what work done to say and someone takes that work from someone whos getting paid by you for the work, whats stolen to say?

This gets very debatable of course many times over but of it though is still that of say things piad for to some part that is say to some part of no say pay of the same say.

Usually the company to say is fined for the interest. And on break downs maybe arrests and the like. But again that is that of work being paid for. Sometimes work can no be paid for and only work applied is gained. There is were probably a break of difference is.

Probably happens more then none, but not at all times, even on some ideas of lending money for work. Lending usually has interest is why at times.
