There is an amusement park within 20 minutes of our apartment. The name of the park is Shi Jing Shan, and they have been sued several times by Disney for their characters too closely resembling Disney characters. I have seen several pictures in co-workers offices of their children with characters that look very similar to winnie or tigger, but not quite the same. Their slogan is "Disney Land is too far away, please come to Shi Jing Shan Amusement Park". They even have a giant castle that looks very much like the one in Disney. Some of their other mascots include unauthorized use of Hello Kitty, Shrek, and Bugs Bunny. We have noticed several examples of this in China. You can buy Wu products instead of Wii, or "Polo" instead of Ralph Lauren. I have even seen counterfeit cars. I just thought that an entire amusement park takes the cake.
