Disney goes to China

Disney just opened its first amusement park in mainland China. It鈥檚 on the outskirts of Shanghai. The target market is some 330 million people living within a three hour drive of the city. But while it may look like any other Disney theme park from the outside, behind the scenes the Chinese government is calling the shots.
