48、t the Smithsonians National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the n

49、ame was not chosen until 100 days after the birth. This cubs birth proved to be quite inspiring and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “ Xiao Qi Jis birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情) , ” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in

50、 a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.” The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the countrys diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”.

54、ave an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported. In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldnt provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two

55、 giant pandas back to China. But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We dont own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange,” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonians National Zoo, t
