Real Disneyland coming to mainland China
A Japanese reporter visits China’s fake Disneyland to get an opinion on the official Disneyland that will be built outside Shanghai:
The reporter could not find any blatant violations of Disney copyright at today’s Shijingshan Amusement Park, but she did manage to find a few visitors. They said they’d be interested in visiting the real Disney park when it opens for business. A staff person said she had not heard about the new Disneyland and was unconcerned about competition from it because Shanghai and Beijing are quite far apart.
An China expert interviewed said that he believed the fact that the opening of a Disney theme park on the mainland will probably cause the Chinese government to launch further crackdowns on copyright violation. Considering the fact that the Shanghai city government will have a majority stake in the park will probably help the matter.
