Just as Fu Bao's twin brothers, Luibao and Huibao, are greatly loved in Korea, twin pandas are said to be popular in Germany.

The twin pandas, who were born on Aug. 22 and first opened their eyes about two weeks ago.

It was opened to the public for the first time last week at the age of two months,
It is reported that the number of visitors increased by 50% compared to the previous week as people flocked to see the
twin pandas.

As pandas are loved in each country, the dark side of China's "panda diplomacy," which has been around for more than 30 years, is also revealed.

According to The New York Times, China has been leasing pandas to foreign zoos since the 1990s with the goal of saving endangered species.

Each pair of pandas receives about 1.5 billion won in rent a year and uses it to preserve panda habitats in China.

The ultimate goal is to get endangered pandas back into the wild, but The New York Times noted that more pandas have been caught than those who have made it back into the wild, and that zoo-bred pandas have also lost their lives during artificial breeding.

In China, some female pandas try artificial insemination six times in five days, injuring the uterus or showing symptoms of vomiting.
Male pandas may have bloody stools or lose appetite for months in the process of anesthetizing and electrical stimulation to collect sperm.

In the end, you're abusing pandas to entertain people's eyes and fill their pockets,

Shouldn't we look into the pain and pain behind that cute face?
