On July 19, 2008, Apple opened its first retail store in China in Beijing. At the time, Ron Johnson, Apple’s then-senior vice president of retail, said, “This is the first of many stores we will open in China.” Johnson was right. On November 4th, the company will open its 46th Apple Retail Store in mainland China.
Malcolm Owen for AppleInsider:
The next Apple Store in mainland China is set to open within weeks, with the storefront at the MixC Wenzhou mall being teased by a historic local textile printing technique.
Apple will be opening the Apple MixC Wenzhou storefront on November 4 at 10:00 AM local time.
The store will be the 46th in mainland China, reports Michael Steeber, with it also being the fourth in the province of Zhejiang, as well as the first in Wenzhou itself. Apple’s retail outlet will take up a single-level store space on floor L1 of the mall.
Steeber points out that this will be the tenth Apple Store in China that will use the MixC prefix, referring to the chain of CR MixC Lifestyle malls across the country.

Can Apple walk the tightrope between the USA & China during WWIII? Good chance we’ll watch it, but don’t worry, Joe Biden has it all under control.
You just had to swerve into bitter politics, didn’t you?
There is not a single thing that the prior administration could or would do better. Tweets are not action. Actual fraudster Dumpy set up shitpile after shitpile and now the adults around the world have to clean it up. Even MDN is having a hard time finding evidence to show that Dumpy did anything to sever ties with China, or create lasting jobs, or do anything more than talk about Infrastructure Week. Biden has been reinvesting heavily in overdue US infrastructure modernization and building back ties to allies. So yes, the USA is finally getting its future under control. Or it would if the idiot GOP house members would grow up.
Obsessed much psycho?
Kind-of feels like a neighbor borrowing your dog to protect his chickens. Then, the neighbor doesn’t really like the dog and kicks it every once in the while but still wants it to protect his chickens. You, the dog owner, can’t say anything and must accept it and every once in a while you must thank the neighbor for borrowing your dog. Seriously, WTF!
