    China has given pandas to foreign powers long before the 20th century, but the most current iteration of panda diplomacy began in the 1950s with its gifting of Ping Ping and An An to the Soviet Union. Today, pandas are no longer gifted, but rather loaned to other countries, particularly those with which China wants to develop and strengthen relations. Not only are pandas an iconic symbol of China and its culture, they also act as diplomats in China’s global political strategy.

      Samin Yead. That's a really interesting point. However, the reason why this might not work is the local animal defenders would almost certainly protest against such a strategy. They'd say China has the expertise to take better care of the pandas in the long run and it's in the best interest of the pandas to return them to their hometown.

      Wood Choppa It's not like the pandas are treated bad anyways. It's the government's intention to use them as tools, but for zoos and ordinary citizens, we just love to see pandas around the world! Institutions in different countries also get to learn about pandas, and this is in no ways bad. If there was no obvious negative in using pandas as diplomatic tools, other than the governments' uncomfortable intention, why not? I mean, manipulating resources and trades could obviously affect economy in a good or bad way. Pandas are much more harmless lol.

    Ironically, if it weren't for humans, Giant Pandas would probably go extinct.
    They can only eat bamboo; which is high in toxins, and low in nutrition.
    So much so, that pandas literally have to spend almost every waking hour, eating.
    They don't breed very well, even in the wild, have a very low birth rate, and can't move very quickly.
    Unlike their much smaller, omnivorous, tree-dewing cousins, the Red Pandas (which look a lot like foxes).
