Apple has disclosed that their first store in China will be in Beijing, scheduled to open in time for the 2008 Olympics.

It will be located on the to-be-renovated Qianmen Street, which, according to TUAW, will be "the city’s second pedestrian-only shopping street and it’s reported
that Apple will be forgoing it’s well-established storefront in favor
of a design that will blend with the Chinese architecture surrounding
it."
