Japan Invades China - With Hello Kitty

Japan Invades China

As the reader well knows, Shanghai is the largest city in the world, by population. Over 22 million. And now Japan has invaded, through the most ingenious of agents.
















An indirect method was used. First Hello Kitty established a toe hold in the disputed country of Taiwan. Through the Taiwanese airline EVA.





The "friendly" Hello Kitty inflight service. Featuring Kitty pillows, shows, even Hello Kitty sushi.



After infiltrating EVA with their "Hello Kitty" brand, Japan has opened up a "Hello Kitty" theme park in Shanghai. The Chinese found themselves defenseless against Hello Kitty's appeal to Chinese women.

"Traditionally in China, uh, we think a good girl should be ... obedient, uh, she should act very gently, very considerate, and this actually goes very well with the image projected by Hello Kitty."
-Amanda Liu
CNTV.com / English (Video with actual quote)

Here is actual footage of the so-called theme park being opened in Shanghai.

The park is located west of Shanghai in Anji and cost $250,000,000 (that's two hundred and fifty million) in U.S. dollars to build.

Cute, but still the thread name implies much more. Had me going there for a second (but it didn't make sense, so I didn't really believe the thread name meant what it said).

LOL

But the Facts™, all the facts! Did you know Shanghai was the largest city in the world? That Hello Kitty had it's own airline. That it was a Japanese company?

I didn't know it in this detail, so yes, you've educated me today. That deserves a flag and star. The thread's name still is misleading, but we've all been misled, and will be again. Life goes on, and so must Hello Kitty.

Yes, I admit, this is an awkward moment for me. Using a headline that on first blush is sensationalist. Just like the Lamestream-Media does. But unlike them, my headline is actually true. That, and the story contains facts and info the reader may not have had before.

Hello Kitty is very popular in China. Especially for the Lunar New Years celebrations.







Here is a picture of the park, back when it was being built. To give a sense of the scale.

Box of Badgers =O thats scary stuff!!!!


Hello Kitty is a really cool concept, I love its simplistic art style and its colorful nature I personally like a lot darker and complex art this style is a perfect exact contrast and it is appealing very cool about the plane and the sushi too!

Nothing here really to add but...........Tokyo is the largest city in the world by far with over 37 million people.

Not Shanghai.
