China's Wuhan says it is in talks with Disney to start a project

Reuters2023-06-03

SHANGHAI, June 3 (Reuters) - The city of Wuhan in central China said on Saturday its commerce bureau has started initial talks with Walt Disney Co for the U.S. firm to start a project in the city.

The Wuhan government gave no details on the talks in a statement on its official WeChat account.

Several Chinese cities have been on a drive to engage with foreign investors since the start of the year after the country lifted its harsh COVID-19 restrictions.

Disney opened a $5.5 billion resort in the financial hub of Shanghai in 2016. The resort had over 11 million visitors in its debut year, though figures were hit during the pandemic.
