Belgium - Pandas spark squabble
China’s latest round of panda diplomacy has triggered a row in linguistically divided Belgium — leaving Dutch speakers angry that two loaned bears will go to a zoo in the French-speaking region.
China offered to lend the giant pandas during a visit by French-speaking Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo this week. The bears will go to Pairi Daiza, a wildlife park in the French-speaking region of Wallonia, not far from Di Rupo’s home. Di Rupo said the 15-year loan of male and female pandas, Xinhui and Haohao, was an honor for Belgium.
The head of Dutch-speaking Flanders, Kris Peeters, also visiting China, said he would seek an explanation from the Belgian prime minister.
