Xi doubles down on panda diplomacy after Trump summit
Original: Xi persists with ‘panda diplomacy’ after Trump summit
President Xi Jinping is continuing China's long-standing practice of 'panda diplomacy' — loaning giant pandas to foreign countries as a gesture of goodwill — in the wake of his recent summit with Donald Trump. The move is being read as a signal that Beijing wants to keep channels of goodwill open with Washington despite ongoing tensions between the two powers.
Why now: The meeting between Xi and Trump has renewed attention on China's symbolic use of panda loans as a diplomatic tool.
