Raspberry Pi in RED - Red Pi made in China

Do you know there are some Raspberry Pi in RED? It's official licensed in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Red Pi

The Raspberry Pi is manufactured through licensed manufacturing deals with Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components and Egoman. Egoman are aiming to make these Pis widely available in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan., which can be distinguished from other Pis by their red coloring. Because they do not carry FCC/CE marks (although they are fully compatible with the boards you can buy elsewhere), it’s not legal to import them into the EU or the USA, or into some other parts of the world.
