The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the just-like-the-real-thing dept.

rmnoon writes "Apparently Japanese TV and bloggers have just discovered Disney's theme park in China, where young children can be part of the Magic Kingdom and interact with their favorite characters (like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the Seven Dwarfs). The park's slogan is 'Because Disneyland is Too Far,' and there's even an Epcot-like dome. The only problem? Disney didn't build it, and they didn't authorize it. What's more? It's state-owned!"

    Today, Disney. Tomorrow, GM.

    Errr, you meant: Today, Disney. Today GM. China's been accused of 'Auto Piracy' already.

    Get used to it

    To be honest, it wouldn't have been to hard to "discover" the park. It's connected to the Beijing subway, it's been open since 1986, and it's rated as a AAAA tourist attraction.
