China pirates a..... theme park?

[Hawq]

With its slogan "Disneyland is too far," Beijing's Shijingshan Amusement Park features a replica of Cinderella's Castle, with staff dressed like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and other Disney characters.

 

None of this is authorized by Disney - but that has not stopped the state-owned park from creating its own counterfeit version of the Magic Kingdom in a brazen example of the sort of open and widespread copyright piracy that has Washington fuming.

 

The United States announced Monday it would file a case at the World Trade Organization over rampant copyright piracy in China, a practice which US companies say deprives them of billions of dollars each year.

 

But 31-year-old housewife Zhang Li betrays a typical Chinese attitude on the issue while chasing her young son around the park.

 

"I don't understand why that is such a big problem. Shouldn't others be able to use those characters besides [Disney]?" she asks.

source and this site has several pictures & some video of it they dont do their piracy by halves do they?

I read that on another forum and someone said the mouse there are cats. Because for English-illiterate, some pronounced mouse as mao which means cat, lol. Mickey Mao and Minnie Mao.
