  • La Cina ha inviato due panda giganti, Ping Ping e Fu Shuang, allo zoo di Atlanta, in Georgia, durante la visita del presidente Xi Jinping a Washington.
  • Il trasferimento, già concordato, è stato annunciato giovedì e rientra nel programma di 'diplomazia dei panda' per rafforzare i legami internazionali.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

La Cina utilizza la 'diplomazia dei panda' come strumento di soft power, prestando i suoi panda giganti a zoo stranieri per rafforzare i legami internazionali. All'inizio dell'anno, Pechino aveva richiamato due panda dal Giappone dopo una disputa diplomatica legata a dichiarazioni sul possibile intervento militare giapponese in difesa di Taiwan.

La Cina ha inviato due panda giganti negli Stati Uniti, secondo quanto riferito dai media statali, in seguito a un vertice a Washington ricco di simbolismo ma privo di svolte significative. Il trasferimento dei panda era già stato concordato, ma la partenza è stata annunciata giovedì durante la visita del presidente cinese Xi Jinping a Washington.

Questi mammiferi bianchi e neri godono di enorme popolarità in tutto il mondo; la Cina li concede in prestito nell'ambito di un programma di "diplomazia dei panda" volto a favorire i legami con l'estero.

Ping Ping e Fu Shuang sono partiti dall'aeroporto internazionale di Chengdu Shuangliu a bordo di un aereo charter, come riportato dall'agenzia di stampa statale Xinhua. Sono diretti a uno zoo di Atlanta, in Georgia, dove trascorreranno i prossimi dieci anni.

Prima della partenza, la Base di ricerca di Chengdu per l'allevamento del panda gigante ha organizzato una cerimonia di saluto per i due esemplari. All'inizio di quest'anno, Pechino aveva richiamato due dei suoi panda dal Giappone in seguito a una disputa diplomatica, scaturita quando il primo ministro giapponese aveva lasciato intendere che Tokyo avrebbe potuto intervenire militarmente in caso di attacco a Taiwan.
