The problem when everything is MADE IN CHINA

They can flagrantly steal it...



With its slogan “Disneyland is too far,” Beijing’s Shijingshan Amusement Park went ahead and built its own terrifying replicas of the Magic Kingdom's famed Cinderella's Castle and its beloved characters. Japan’s Doraemon and Hello Kitty are also swiped.

An article about the park in China’s business newspaper, The Standard, quotes one consumer who asks, “I don’t understand why that is such a big problem. Shouldn’t others be able to use those characters besides [Disney]?”

Um, NO.

Although China is known for its open and widespread piracy, a park executive still felt the need to claim that "Mickey", er... rather,
their version of Mickey is simply "a cat with very large ears!"

Does THIS look like a cat with big ears? And, would
you trust these dwarfs to watch over you while you slept...
