Racist much?!
Stop throwing around the word "racist" so much. It has nothing to do with race. I made that statement based on the general observation that many goods manufactured in China are prone to failure. Tell me what that has to do with race.
I can see why people get so mad about political correctness in America.
You obviously emphasized on the word Chinese. Maybe with your general observation you can tell me more about what prone to failure more specific for?
Since this is not about race I will go back to talking about how awesome the park will be.
I went to look around on the net and asked my friends in China about it but they haven't got back to me yet! Hope its really really gonna be ready in May!

Well, this is a international community or not? A little respect would seem fair? I wont call you a racist, but your comment is a bit narrow sighted. First of all where's the similarity between roller-coasters and general goods? Second of all, while China in your eyes may produce many faulty goods, did you compare it to the number of goods they produce that works? It's unfair to call out China as a second class manufacturer. The "Three Gorges Dam" and the "Taipei Tower" are examples of excellent chineese craftsmanship.

Actually they are more or less the same as any other country. However, I won't deny that a fair amount of them do slip by the safety inspections simply because they produce so many goods. In many instances, it just comes down to greed getting in the way a la American tire makers Dodge, Firestone tires incident.
Has Blizzard not made any posts on forums about the theme park? With two fo their games having a park made out of them I would assume SOMEONE would mention something on the bnet forums
isn't there some sort of copyright issue here? what with it being china i'm skeptical about that, since they copied JPN's gundam and then had to add a bunch of ugly to it to make it "original" again.
Yeah, I think it's safe to assume that this will be a ripoff - Meaning that they will not get permission to directly material from the Blizzard universes.. Its hard to believe that Blizzard wouldn't have commented on it if that was indeed the case.
Lawsuits, lawsuits and lawsuits.. And of course, a long fight for Blizzard against a China that is supporting and protecting people making copies of other peoples stuff

You are so ignorant. Most likely, at least half the electronics in your house are made in China, unless you haven't bought anything new since the last millenium. China is the largest producer of modern appliances, and they have to meet the safety standards set by NA/Europe/etc. It's pretty obvious that when something breaks that it's likely to be made in China considering most appliances these days are made in China, whether they break or not.
TBH, I would be 10 times more concerned with using something made in Australia or USA, having been made with inferior machinery, subsidised like crazy and possibly dodging certain QA requirements that an imported good could never hope to dodge.
