Jan. 17th, 2006 -- On Tuesday, a newspaper in China showed a road map released by the Beijing city govenrment that illustrated all future improvements for the city, one of which was a Disney park. Disney responded saying that the claim was innacurate, and there are no such plans to build a new park in Bejing.

Currently, Disney is planning with authorities to build a new theme park in Shanghai, but the company is still awaiting approval, and therefore the Shanghai park is still only a possibility. Last September, Disney opened a new park in Hong Kong, which is to serve as a tourist attraction for most of mainland China. Opening a park in Beijing would create competition.
