As last 3 giant pandas exit Washington’s National Zoo, will US-China diplomacy retreat too?
Earlier than we thought, three beloved giant pandas from the National Zoo in Washington, D. C. , are going back to China. Their names are Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, and Xiao Qi Ji, and they're flying on a special plane called the 'FedEx Panda Express. ' The pandas have been a big part of the zoo for 23 years, and their departure is a mix of happy and sad feelings.
The pandas first came to the zoo after a big moment in history when the U. S. and China started to be friends. Mei Xiang and Tian Tian arrived in 2000, and their stay was extended several times. Xiao Qi Ji, whose name means 'little miracle,' was born in 2020. But now, the zoo couldn't make a new deal to keep the pandas, and they have to go back to China.
The pandas are leaving just before the presidents of the U. S. and China have an important meeting. People are curious if the pandas will be part of their talks. Pandas have been a symbol of peace and friendship for a long time. Some experts think that if the pandas could stay, it would show that the two countries can still work together. But if not, it might mean they're having a hard time getting along. The zoo is hopeful, though, and is getting the panda home ready for when they can come back and be loved by everyone once more.
