My favourite example if that kind of store is Miniso. It's a Chinese chain that pretends to be Japanese.

The chain is based in China, but one of Miniso's founders is actually Japanese.

I recently ran into a "Yubiso" in KL, meaning there's now a Malaysian clone of a Chinese clone of Japanese stores (Miniso is basically Uniqlo and Muji mashed together).
