law - Shanghai officials deny Playboy has or will get permission for club



Playboy has no permission to open a club and will not get such a permission, say officials of the Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bureau and of the Cultural Bureau, according to media in Shanghai. Playboy held yesterday its press conference.
According to the Russian News agency Interfax: "Playboy has licensed Shanghai Entertainment Ltd the right to use the company's name and brand. Shanghai Entertainment Ltd, in turn, has formed a joint venture with Shanghai Times Supermarkets that will construct and oversee operations of the new club. Shanghai Entertainment Ltd. CEO Michael Nussbaum emphasized during a press conference attended by Interfax that the new club would strictly follow all rules and regulations under Chinese law."
We will hear more about this, I guess.
