China sends panda pair to US zoo for ten-year stay
Original: “Panda diplomacy”: China’s pair heads to US for ten-year zoo stay
China is sending a pair of giant pandas to the United States, where they will live at a zoo for ten years under the long-standing practice known as panda diplomacy. The loan of the animals is widely seen as a goodwill gesture between Beijing and Washington, with the pandas expected to become a major visitor attraction.
Why now: The panda loan is being read as a signal of warming or eased tensions in US-China relations.
