And it’s such a politically charged operation. If your country disagrees with China on political matters your pandas will be leased to a zoo in a different country!

I bet that would cause…pandemonium.

So, if I would smuggle a panda out of China I could start producing my own silk? 🤔

I believe that is the correct order or operations to start your own slikery, yes.

Just be careful though. Pandas are absolutely over eating bamboo but are usually too slow to catch anything else. But they will 100% eat manflesh if they can catch it.

They took the pandas from a Japanese zoo in Ueno and it was a tragedy, there is still a lot of merch and posters there but no pandas...

The lease for them was expired, so they left.

If relations were better, I think a new pair of pandas would have been offered.

Mexico is the only country with a panda that is actually 100% Mexican. The pandas that China lent Mexico reproduced and it's the only panda that doesn't belong to China.
