@monkbent I think it's largely to do with Studio A's agreement with Apple + the fact they'd need to register as a local sub'y for tax etc
I might add there are Burberry stores everywhere. Retail has really had a wasted few years.

@jameshilltaiwan no, that agreement is a fill in. I know Apple's China real estate guy - part of problem is no obvious place to put it -
@monkbent Surely 101 would be a good spot? Anecdotally one reason most int'l retailers aren't here is the receipt issue -
@jameshilltaiwan you mean the fact they have to issue the govt ones? -
@monkbent but those brands still need rep'tation in Taiwan by intermediaries, if there isn't one they can't set up (no A&F, Hollister etc) -
@jameshilltaiwan I knew about the receipt system, but didn't realize it was such a limitation. -
@monkbent Yeah, so if Apple only want one store in Taiwan for example, is it worth setting up Apple TW Inc? Paying more tax etc? Prob not -
@jameshilltaiwan huh. Yeah, that sucks.
