Foreign Borrowing of Giant Pandas, Refusal to Return, Proposes Exchange Conditions
Everyone knows that giant pandas are China's national treasures and unique to China, deeply loved by the Chinese people, and even adored by foreigners. Many foreign countries are proud to borrow giant pandas, and many foreign zoos have seen a surge in visitors because of it, bringing them huge tourism revenue.
Overseas, there are many media columns dedicated to broadcasting the daily lives of giant pandas, attracting countless fans. The recent death of the giant panda in Thailand further raised the threshold for borrowing giant pandas, requiring not only good nutrition but also a comfortable and spacious living and activity environment.
It's like giving it ice blocks in the summer to cool down and cotton blankets in the winter to keep warm, with regular safety and hygiene checks – it's a truly imperial level of pampering. And when the rental period is over, it must be immediately returned to China, including any offspring – they all belong to China. Furthermore, China receives a large rental fee each year, which is essentially a series of unequal treaties!
Even so, countless countries still want to borrow giant pandas and build many panda gardens. However, what if the borrower doesn't want to return the giant panda when the rental period expires? It's really not impossible, as it just happened to our 'brother' Russia. China rented giant pandas to Moscow Zoo in Russia, and the time has come for them to return.
They were very reluctant to give back the giant panda and even proposed exchanging it for their own national treasure, the polar bear. The answer, of course, is no, although both bears are national treasures, giant pandas are much rarer than polar bears, so it can't be casually exchanged!
However, many people also said that as long as the audit conditions are met, they can continue to apply to China to borrow giant pandas. This answer made countless Russians overjoyed, and it can be said that giant pandas have benefited China a lot, not only earning money for the country, but also maintaining relations between the two countries. How do netizens view this?
