On Monday, China announced that it would give away two giant pandas to the Gulf National Qatar to celebrate the World Cup here. According to the Chinese Ambassador to Qatar, the two pandas will arrive in Qatar before the start of the game.

Since Wu Zetian sent two pandas to Japan in the 7th century AD, China has always given panda as a gift. This habit was recovered during Mao Zedong's administration. During the Cold War, giant pandas were sent to Russia and North Korea. After President Nixon visited China in 1972, the United States received a pair of giant pandas. By giving a country a national treasure animal, China can show the closeness of China's political connection with its political connection.

However, the giant panda also evolved into a useful economic resources. In the 1980s, China began to rent out at $ 50,000 per month instead of giving away pandas. These pandas and their children were still owned by China.

Panda usually only eats fresh bamboo, one a day eats 40 kg. According to a 2011 estimation, the Edinburgh Zoo spent $ 107,000 to feed two pandas each year. This prompted the local gardener to start planting bamboo, and the zoo also began to ask for donations. During the epidemic, the supply cost of bamboo increased. Because it was difficult to obtain a reliable and sufficient fresh bamboo supply, the Canadian Calgary Zoo decided to return a pair of giant pandas early to reunite with future generations.

Other rare animals are also presented as politics or diplomatic gifts worldwide. For example, a few months before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Central Government of China presented five -tailed Chinese crickets to Hong Kong, implying the Five Rings of the Olympic Games. In order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China and thank China for helping the Seychel Islands for participating in the World Expo, the Seychel Islands government announced in 2009 that it donated a pair of Yadabra Elephant Turtles to the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
