Chinese President Xi Jinping has hinted at improving ties with the United States following a historic summit with US President Joe Biden. As a gesture of goodwill, Xi Jinping mentioned the possibility of sending "envoys of friendship" to the US. In the context of China, these envoys of friendship are Giant Pandas, a species endemic to China. Details regarding when and where these pandas might be provided were not disclosed, but reports suggest that they are most likely to come to California, possibly San Diego. Giant Pandas have long been a symbol of the friendship between the U.S. and China. This tradition dates back to 1972 when Beijing gifted a pair of pandas to the National Zoo in Washington, symbolizing the normalization of bilateral relations. Subsequently, China has loaned pandas to various U.S. zoos over the years.
