Japan-China Diplomatic Spat: Japanese Zoo Devises Ways to Comfort Panda Fans

[kit_hung]

Zoo workers in Japan have gone to extraordinary lengths to comfort fans who have been heartbroken after the last panda was returned to China. At Adventure World, south of Osaka, staff donned panda hats and let visitors pet them, in an attempt to entice visitors to join the panda lovers’ club.

For a fee of 8,000 yen, visitors can dress up as zookeepers and take part in a program that simulates the real work of caring for the animals. Activities include preparing food, observing the animals’ behavior, filling out daily reports, and inspecting the safety of exercise areas.

The 90-minute session also gives visitors the chance to feed apple slices to staff in their enclosures, attempting to replicate the experience of feeding the pandas. It’s a creative way to keep the pandas in love even after the real animals have left.

They should've kept the panda and told Beijing to pound sand. #JustSaying

I bet no one wants to mess with China.
Except the USA.

China is a bully, Kit.
Eventually, they're going to be dealt with.

Yea. I think Trump may try taming China.
Consequences?

China is economically viable and it will be difficult to box them in a corner. China is technological advanced and economically sound. Even United States government is finding it hard to limit the influence of China globally.

United States is very keen to try contain China's influence around the world. They have penetrated every corner commercially and technologically while spending lot of money to buy new friends in Africa and South America.
