For nearly three months, heated discussions in China about the treatment of Ya Ya by the Memphis Zoo have served to highlight just how antagonistic the US-China relationship has become.
The moment encapsulated a high-point in US-China relations, coming two years after China joined the World Trade Organization with American support, and as the two countries deepened engagement in areas ranging from the economy to counter-terrorism.
In contrast, China has not granted any panda loans to the US for two decades, since Ya Ya and Le Le arrived in Memphis, said Masaki Ienaga, an associate professor at Tokyo Woman’s Christian University. Songster said China does seem to recognize the pandas are valuable for serving its needs. “As its needs change, the use of the pandas shifts, but it’s always serving the needs of the government at the time,” she said.
