Description

The giant panda is a national treasure of China. They are adored by people around the world, so they are often used as goodwill ambassadors promoting friendship between China and other countries. This week a pair of Chinese panda cubs arrived in the Netherlands for joint scientific research and breeding for 15 years. The Dutch zoo has invested more than 7 million US dollars to build a luxurious panda house for them. Other than the Netherlands, China has cooperated with different zoos in countries around the world, including the US, the UK, Australia, and Japan, to allow people in different places to get a chance to meet the cute Chinese bears. However some people claim that panda diplomacy is being used by China as a bargaining chip. What is the true role of pandas? And, has Panda Diplomacy contributed to the protection of the species? CGTN host Liu Xin speaks to Zhao Zhonghua, Country Director of World Animal Protection in China and Victor Gao, Global Councilor of Asia Society.Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gAWatch CGTN Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2-Aq...Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvn...Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...Follow us on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChinaGlobalT...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cgtn/?hl=zh-cnTwitter: https://twitter.com/CGTNOfficialPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/CGTNOfficial/Tumblr: http://cctvnews.tumblr.com/Weibo: http://weibo.com/cctvnewsbeijing
