The new store will be open Monday to Sunday between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time, and offer traditional Apple Store services, including the Genius Bar, Workshops, JointVenture, events and seminars. It will mark Apple's 26th retail store in mainland China, while the company also operates four retail stores in Hong Kong.

Apple has aggressively expanded its footprint in China under the leadership of retail chief Angela Ahrendts, with new stores in Shenyang on January 9, Nanning on December 12, Beijing on November 28 and Chengdu on November 21. Apple also opened retail stores in Chongqing, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Nanjing and Tianjin throughout 2015.

Well Apple relied on the ailing US economy in the past few years so surely it worked.
Not really relied. Less than half of revenue came from the Americas combined. ('http://www.statista.com/statistics/382175/quarterly-revenue-of-apple-by-geograhical-region/') And if Apple's strategy is to rely on the Chinese economy righting itself as we did, yikes. We shall see.

This. The slumping Chinese economy can't be good for a company relying on it.

They should just charge the knock-off vendors a licensing fee, then they wouldn't have to build all these stores. Tim Cook hire me

Makes sense, even the illegal DVD movie sellers have an 'official' license there!
