Staatsbesuch: Xi zu Besuch in Washington: Zwei Pandabären für die USA
China nutzt die niedlichen Tiere gern als Zeichen der Diplomatie. Auch für die USA soll es zwei neue Pandabären geben.
Washington - Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced the imminent arrival of two panda bears to a zoo in the United States during his visit to the White House. According to a translation of his speech at the reception, the panda bears will arrive in their new home at the Atlanta Zoo in just a few days. This is not the first time that Chinese panda bears have been sent to a U.S. zoo; such diplomatic gifts are known as "Panda Diplomacy."
China routinely loans these animals to selected zoos around the world. The United States and China have been locked in a long-standing trade dispute. During a visit to Beijing, U.S. President Donald Trump and Xi emphasized their desire for closer bilateral cooperation just last month. At the first White House appearances, both leaders repeated these tones. Xi's state visit continues through Friday.
