Apple, for the first time in the company’s history, is closing a store in China, as the Chinese regime shoulders mounting economic pressures and lukewarm spending at home.

The store inside the Parkland Mall in Dalian city, northeast China, will be shut down after July 8, according to a notice on Apple’s official website.
