The latest in a series of setbacks for the $1.8bn (£1bn) Hong
Kong Disneyland occurred after Health Inspectors were called in
after three cases of food poisoning.  The two health
officials were asked to take off their uniforms to avoid scaring
clients.  Hong Kong officials, angered that food inspectors
were asked to remove their uniforms told Disney it is “not
above the law”.  Disney has apologised and has promised
to comply with local laws.

An editorial in the Ming Pao Daily News says Hong Kong residents
suspect Disney “wants to engineer special rights and turn
the theme park into an independent kingdom that Hong Kong laws
can't reach”.

The park faced criticism from animal welfare groups in July,
after reports local officials had been called in to destroy at
least 40 dogs roaming the site.  A month earlier, it
withdrew shark fin soup from planned banquet menus after
campaigners condemned the dish, a local luxury, as cruel and
ecologically destructive.
