Consumers in Beijing and Shanghai are now entitled to discounts of up to 2,000 yuan (US$278) on select models of Apple devices – including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and MacBook – when they buy directly from the US company, according to a statement published on Tuesday on Apple’s mainland Chinese website.

That's a crazy government subsidy. There must be some grey-market trade going on with get the devices to buyer outside of Beijing and Shanghai.
