Oh, the irony of having to go back to the US to get a replacement iPad.
If China didn't want to have completely paranoid rules about WiFi and the like, this wouldn't be a problem.

It's not that---Apple doesn't offer Applecare + in China. Heck, Apple doesn't offer Applecare + in a crapton of countries. I was originally told that it was valid in Canada, US and Japan---when I went to Japan, I was told I couldn't do it there either. Apple's only advice was to have someone bring it back to the states. I could have gotten a replacement for about 2000RMB at the Shanghai Apple store (around ~300 USD, but since my friend was coming anyhow, it made more sense to send it back.)
I ordered an apple laptop a year or two ago for a friend of mine using the U.S. website. When I discovered the computer was going to be shipped from Shanghai to the US, just so it could be shipped back to Shanghai, I asked if I couldnt just pick it up in Shanghai because I'm already here. They said it was impossible due to tax laws. Sometimes they way the world works is just plain weird.

I've had nothing but good luck with Applecare. I've clearly caused the damage myself, and they've replaced major parts for me. It's totally worth the cost.
Good. Take your savings, head over to Dork Tower and buy ROFL from Kovalic.
Well look who's the belle of the ball, Mr shirt -and- shoes.
