Many of my readers may not know that China would not be the world power it is today were it not for relying on other people to innovate for China to reverse engineer and clone at a much lower cost. Perhaps I'll post some examples at a later date, but be assured the list of known infringements is dubious and notorious.
Well China seems to have taken it up a notch. Above you are viewing two photos of the new Shijingshan Amusement Park in Beijing. This is NOT a Disney property - nor does it have any licenses to use any Disney images.
So consider the following:
- that's not Minnie Mouse...it's a cat with big ears (according to the property managers)
- the park's slogan is “Disneyland is too far.”
- I like this quote from the source: 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.
Oh, did I mention that this is owned by Chinese government? No wonder the issue of intellectual and engineering piracy is so rampant there...
Be sure to view more crazy pictures of the site here.
