I hate to break it to Steve Jobs....but EVERYBODY in China ALREADY has an iPhone, and for the 11 people who don't yet, the retailers have stacks and stacks and stacks of them in their showcases in all the electronics markets there...(granted they may all be copies, but they seem to function exactly as an iPhone should...and certainly looked and felt authentic.
If they are authentic then it can only help Apples bottom line - if they are fake well I don't think people are stupid - they want the real thing.
China has a knock off company called RedBerry that everyone though would prevent RIM from entering into China - but guess what RIM is finally in that market with their BlackBerry and doing well.
I dont think anyone expects Apple to enter into all these markets so quickly

They ARE authentic. Go try one- they all come unlocked and jailbroken.
