Disney-ABC has partnered with Shanghai Media Group to produce a local version of The Amazing Race series in China.

Titled China Rush, the series will be shot at locations across China and air weekly to audiences starting in August 2010. The season finale will air in October, coinciding with the end of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.

The show will be telecast in English with Chinese subtitles on SMG’s International Channel Shanghai network.

“China Rush will showcase the best of Chinese culture, cities, cuisine and cordiality; as participants travel far and wide across our great nation throughout the game show,” said Xu Hao, assistant president of SMG.
