State media reported that plans to build mainland China's first Disneyland park in Shanghai have yet to be given the go ahead by the central government.

"You never see disabled people...When are you going to see a Disney film with a disabled character in the lead role? Tell me that," the Telegraph quoted King as saying.

She continued: "I think all of the media has a problem.
