     Hong Kong Disneyland faces shark fins,stray dogs,smog and other arguments. Many Hong Kongers are ready to give Mickey Mouse a big hug for bringing a new Disneyland to this city. But others are angry about a variety of arguments and would like to give the black grinning mouse a big blow in the gut.

    In the months before the park's opening,the local media often wrote about Disneyland with great doubt and sometimes hostility (敵意) 一as if Disney were building a poor nuclear plant,instead of a cheerful amusement park with lovely cartoon characters and a pink Sleeping Beauty Castle with a mountain background.

    “Hong Kong Disneyland became a popular target because it involved a high-profile marriage between two major forces in peopled lives：big business and the government,said David Ketchum,a public relations expert. Hong Kong's government was the biggest investor in the US $ 3 billion park,built on outlying Lantau Island.

    Disneyland said it was just balancing its commitment to the environment with its desire to respect local customs and tastes. The shark fin is hugely popular in Hong Kong and is served at most major banquets一including those at large international hotels.

    But the park eventually decided not to serve shark fin soup because of environmental concerns. But Iger insisted that Hong Kong Disneyland^ construction went smoothly without any major harm to the environment or public.

    Residents near the park have complained that Disneyland's nightly fireworks shows would create too much smoke and noise. They’ve complained that Hong Kong Disneyland isn’t using the same technology that limits the smoke at fireworks displays in US parks.

   But Hong Kong's leader,Donald Tsang,dismissed the complaints,saying that Disneyland is following local regulations. “They have passed the test and I am satisfied with those tests, ” he told the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents  Club.
