Tmall, which launched in 2008 is home to more than 70,000 merchants including brands like Nike and Gap. The Tmall Apple online store has a very similar look and design of its own store webpage it uses at Apple.com

An Alibaba spokeswoman confirmed that the Tmall page is indeed Apple’s and that it opened recently, but declined to comment further. An Apple spokeswoman wasn’t immediately available for comment.


The Tmall store will also be participating in Apple's 'Red Friday' sale, which is essentially a one day sale different Asian markets including China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.

I saw that recently. NOT as cool as Apple's China website, as it doesn't permit customization (adding more RAM, peripherals, etc). TMALL is taobao.com's official site for genuine brick and mortar sites, with genuine products as opposed to the plethora of sites advertising (for example) Apple iMac's which are actually fake copies (look for the VGA connector - Genuine Apple products don't have VGA connectors)...
