Multinational entertainment conglomerate Walt Disney Co has confirmed that there won’t be a third Disney theme park in China, Chongqing authority said Wednesday, domestic news portal 21jingji.com reported.

Given commercial returns, Walt Disney Co said they wouldn’t build more than two theme parks in one country, when contacted by the Chongqing Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Commission (COFTEC) for confirmation, according to 21jingji.com.

Up to now, only China and the US respectively have two Disney theme parks. Since there are already two theme parks in East China’s Shanghai Municipality and Hong Kong, Disney won’t consider open a third one in China, said the report.

COFTEC said its earlier statement, which said it has been paying close attention to the Disney's project, was merely answer to citizens’ inquiry and a demonstration of the city’s positive attitude toward the matter.

On Tuesday, the Chongqing Evening News reported that Walt Disney Co was seeking to open a theme park in the western part of China, and Southwest China’s Chongqing has shown great interest in having that facility.

There has recently been speculation on Disney opening a second theme park in the Chinese mainland.

Some media suggested that Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province, might be a proposed location, as two documents filed by the city government, which urged relevant departments to pursue negotiations with Disney, have been made public, domestic news portal thepaper.com reported on Thursday.

Currently, Disney runs three theme parks in the Asia-Pacific region: in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
