From the same article:
The amusement park in Fushun — called Fushun Dream World — is being financed by Duan Xing, owner of one of the largest road and highway construction companies in China. The 200-acre park is to be 200 acres in size — larger than Disneyland in Anaheim — and will include an array of features, including a high-rise hotel, high-end shopping area called Diamond Promenade, an indoor water park, a family entertainment center and five theme-specific areas, ala Disneyland.

“Cost was never an issue,” says McCullough. “In fact, at one of our first meetings, we brought up cost and we were immediately asked to never do so again, as long as what we proposed was to Disney standards or better. This was our first preview to the fact that in China, things are done much different than in the United States.”
McCullough and his design team also were surprised by the quickness by which the Chinese implemented its designs. “As soon as we delivered drawings, they began construction,” says McCullough. “We sent them site design development grading and drainage design intent drawings one week and were informed next that they had begun grading the site and pouring foundations.”
