SHANGHAI: A report that the Chinese city of Wuhan was in talks with Walt Disney Co over a potential project is fake, the Chinese official media says, citing the company.

The central province of Hubei deleted a statement from its official account on the WeChat social media platform that had said the commerce bureau of Wuhan, the provincial capital, had started initial talks with Disney on starting a project there.
