Chinese Apple Stores plan special New Year events

While India's Krishna Kalyan ate an iPhone 4 cake to celebrate the New Year, Apple's four retail stores in China have something else in mind to celebrate the Chinese New Year. According to ifoAppleStore, Apple has emailed an invitation to their customers in China to visit the retail stores between January 26 and February 13 for select events such as workshops, One to One training and shopping specials on Apple and third-party products.

Apple currently has stores both in Beijing and Shanghai, but we here at TUAW are partial to the first one to land in Shanghai back in July of last year. With the four stores already under its belt and a growing online presence in China, it seems that Apple heard Lenovo loud and clear when it was declared that Apple hadn't stepped up efforts in the Far East.

We have that as well in the Malaysian Store also on this friday. And yes it's a little too early for a Chinese New Year sale?

Funny you should mention Lenovo... They also came out with a little TV-box called the LeTV (ä¹TV)

Other then that, I'm still waiting for the Unicom store here to have the iPhone 4 in stock... Every time I have to see those little sellers selling iPhone just in front of the Apple store... with their bag of iPhone's in one hand, waving at people passing by to buy one

Taiwan's Apple online store also has a Chinese New Year themed sale (http://store.apple.com/tw/browse/campaigns/cny/giftguide/special_event?mco=MjAwNzUyMzA) , oddly enough for this Friday â€“ Chinese New Year is on Feb. 3 this year. Pity we don't have any Apple Stores over here, only a bunch of resellers.
