People's Daily Online:
"We have approached neither Walt Disney Co nor the Shanghai municipal government about jointly running the Shanghai Disneyland theme park," Hiroshi Suzuki, director of public relations at the leisure and tourism company, told China Daily on Thursday, adding that "media reports are not true".
I suspected it might not be true, as the Chinese and Japanese can be antagonistic at times. I can't imagine the Chinese government welcoming a Japanese company running their flagship tourism initiative.
