Description
Adoring fans, including some from Japan, throng Tokyo-born giant panda Xiang Xiang's enclosure at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in the southwestern province of Sichuan.
Xiang Xiang celebrated her seventh birthday on Wednesday, months after returning from Tokyo's Ueno zoo, where she was born in 2017.
China loans the black-and-white furballs to overseas zoos as part of Beijing's "panda diplomacy" to further foreign policy aims, with offspring returned to China within a few years of their births to join breeding programmes. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
