Panda diplomacy: which countries host China's giant pandas
Original: Panda diplomacy: all the countries currently hosting China’s beloved ambassadors
China's practice of lending giant pandas abroad — known as panda diplomacy — remains a visible tool of soft power. Giant pandas currently live in zoos across multiple countries, including the United States, Japan, and several European and Asian nations, under agreements tied to Beijing's diplomatic relationships. The arrangements are closely watched, since panda loans often signal warming ties and are renewed or withdrawn as relations shift.
Why now: Renewed interest in how China uses panda loans as a barometer of its diplomatic relationships.
