台北上海雙城論壇小貓熊交換引發藍綠政治攻防，民進黨質疑政治道具，台北市長蔣萬安強調物種交流具教育意義，公平對待
民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋認為，上海小貓熊來台不應是雙城論壇的唯一成果，市民更關心產業合作、青年就業及城市治理經驗。他主張「無限城論壇」，強調與世界各地城市交流的重要性，並指出台北動物園已與日本進行小貓熊保育合作，顯示保育交流不限於上海。
台北市與上海市將進行物種交換，2隻小貓熊預計週六抵台，台北市則將送出白手長臂猿作為交換，取代原先計畫的黑腳企鵝。
Two red pandas from Shanghai are set to arrive in Taiwan this weekend, a result of discussions initiated during the Taipei-Shanghai Twin Cities Forum. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an confirmed the arrival, noting a mandatory one-month quarantine period before the animals can be displayed at the zoo. The initiative aims to promote species breeding and genetic diversity through animal exchange.
