DALIAN/SHANGHAI/NAGASAKI -- Fosun Group's recent move to buy a 25% stake in Huis Ten Bosch, a Dutch-themed amusement park in southwestern Japan, is more than a financial investment. The Chinese conglomerate aims to beat Walt Disney in China.
The planned investment in Huis Ten Bosch "is aimed at building theme parks in China in the future," said a person familiar with the matter. Fosun has yet to release an official comment on the deal, including the value of the proposed stake purchase.
