In 1972, which United States President was given two giant pandas from China?
Correct answer: Richard Nixon
Player Say what!?
This was back in the day when the US sought good relations with other countries.

Hsing-Hsing would go on to pass her record when he was euthanized by zookeepers on November 28, 1999, at the age of 28 due to kidney failure. Following Hsing-Hsing's death, the zoo received thousands of letters and cards from people across the country expressing sympathy."

China has been giving Pandas to the USA for years. They stay here and thry move back to China…. You have to wonder know with the new President what will happen.. maybe there may be a tariffs on animais ..

Player Say what!?, kN0w; We were seeking to draw attention away from a poorly justified '"conflict'" ( congress never declared it a "WAR") Lost a lot of young men [and women] that would have made greater contributions other than giving blood and told "That's not enough." I asked a Captain once, 'How do we kN0W We are Winning?' and his reply left me with chill-bumps when he said
"Body Counts" and it was 99°

Loaned, not given. China still claims ownership of all giant pandas, even those born in foreign zoos.

Bluemoon7, Who knows, he likes tariffs on things! LOL.

Player #57750688, I would imagine they were given to a zoo. In any event, the article says they both have since died, unfortunately. :(

Bluemoon7, China "loans" the pandas for 5 years, I think. I doubt we'll be getting any in the next few years.

Doesn't say what happened to the pandas. Anyone know?
