Caught red-handed, and it's government owned so it's an official policy:

Here are some pictures of "Disneyland China"













I cannot tell you how fucking sick I am of the damn Chinese government. These bastards just copy Disneyland, and it's not even a good copy by the way, and don't give a shit. Now technically, Disney does have a park in China, but it's in Hong Kong which is still very autonomous.

1. Just some little squares there. And I'm not too damn particular
about anybody ripping Disney off. They haven't exactly been the Democrats or the American public's best friend.

4. I found one pic, and a news story:

Fakes a real fact of life in China's heated economy

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.

3. link doesn't work - pictures are non-existent
And I personally don't CARE if they rip off Disney. Let Disney take them to court and blow millions fighting over this.

5. Remember a few years ago when a preschool was sued by Disney
because someone had painted pics of Mickey Mouse on their walls. I have little sympathy for the mouse.
