China sends new pandas to Atlanta zoo
Original: China’s latest panda diplomats head to Atlanta
China has sent a new pair of giant pandas to Atlanta, renewing one of its best-known symbols of soft power diplomacy. The animals' arrival restores panda diplomacy ties with the United States at a time of broader political tension, and officials on both sides have long treated panda loans as a barometer of the state of bilateral relations.
Why now: Panda loans are closely watched as a signal of warming or cooling US-China relations, making the arrival newsworthy.
