China's panda diplomacy makes a comeback
Original: China's 'panda diplomacy' is back.
China is reviving its practice of 'panda diplomacy', sending giant pandas abroad as a gesture of goodwill and a tool of soft power in its foreign relations. The tradition, long used to warm ties with partner countries, had slowed in recent years, and its return is being read as a renewed effort by Beijing to court international friendship.
Why now: Renewed Chinese panda loans signal a shift in Beijing's soft-power outreach, drawing attention to its diplomatic strategy.
