FM Wang Yi spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the phone.
Wang Yi stated that China’s policy toward the United States remains stable and consistent. China is ready to strengthen communication and cooperation with the U.S. side, properly handle differences and sensitive issues, support each other in the successful hosting of the 2026 #APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and the #G20 Leaders’ Summit, and work for tangible progress in building a constructive #China -#US relationship of strategic stability.
On September 24, during his state visit to the United States, President Xi Jinping announced that two giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, would soon find their new home in Zoo Atlanta, which was warmly welcomed by people in the U.S. On September 27 local time, the two pandas arrived in Atlanta. We are happy to see that the duo have recently made their public debut, bringing great joy to the local people and strengthening the bonds of friendship between the Chinese and American peoples.
The giant panda is China’s national treasure and an envoy of friendship. To ensure the pair’s health and safety as well as smooth journey and adaptation to the new environment, thorough preparations have been made in strict accordance with the requirements and technical standards for international giant panda conservation cooperation. We believe this new panda cooperation will benefit the protection of giant pandas and other endangered species, global biodiversity conservation, and people-to-people friendship between China and the U.S.

🌿 In Shenzhen, a green bridge is reconnecting habitats divided by a highway. About 90% of its space is reserved for wildlife, and camera traps have already captured leopard cats and wild boars crossing. A clever way to make room for nature as the city grows. #Shenzhen #WildlifeProtection #Biodiversity
Ambassador Xie Feng attended the opening ceremony of the Arthur M. Blank #Panda Grove and delivered remarks at Zoo Atlanta @ZooATL on November 6.
In September, President Xi Jinping successfully paid a historic state visit to the United States, during which he announced the great news that Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, a new pair of giant pandas, would soon come to Zoo Atlanta. Three days later, the two envoys flew across the Pacific and arrived at their new home. This has injected fresh momentum into China-U.S. giant panda cooperation, and also opened a new chapter in the friendship between our two peoples.

It gives me great joy to come to the beautiful city of Atlanta, and celebrate the inauguration of the Arthur M. Blank Panda Grove at Zoo Atlanta @ZooATL with so many American friends.

Now, there is one Chinese ambassador in D.C., but Atlanta alone boasts two “panda envoys”, who are both much “weightier” than me. Across the United States, there are six superstar “panda envoys” in total, more than in any country outside China. Having these hefty colleagues on board to promote goodwill between China and the United States certainly gives me a shot in the arm!
The arrival of the new pair of pandas marks the renewal of a decades-long bond between China and Zoo Atlanta.
In 1999, giant pandas Lun Lun and Yang Yang became the first panda residents at Zoo Atlanta. Under the meticulous care of the team here, they gave birth to a total of seven cubs across five litters in 25 years, creating the most successful breeding record in China-U.S. giant panda cooperation.
Now, this latest round of cooperation is a natural continuation of that family lineage, as Ping Ping is here to take up the baton from his uncle Yang Yang. Thanks to this special bond, Ping Ping has settled in quickly, feeling right at home.
Meanwhile, Fu Shuang is the daughter of a celebrity, as her father is no one else but the real-world inspiration behind Po, the main character of Kung Fu Panda 2. I am confident that Fu Shuang will be just as popular as her “Dragon Warrior” father, and will bring even more happiness to everyone meeting her!
The arrival of the new pair of pandas is China’s sincere response to the aspirations of the American people.
For years, “pandamonium” has swept through Atlanta, across the State of Georgia, and throughout the United States. Love for pandas is everywhere we turn: Atlantans have a tradition of donating fresh bamboo from their yards to pandas, and the zoo even set up a Bamboo Hotline. Anyone whose bamboo is selected as “Panda Exclusive” will become the pride of their neighborhood.
That love also reaches sky-high: the FedEx Panda Express carrying Ping Ping and Fu Shuang was once the most-tracked international flight in the world.
The arrival of the new pair of pandas is a vivid testament to practical subnational cooperation between China and the United States.
Georgia is the home state of President Jimmy Carter, who, with extraordinary political courage and vision, made the historic decision to establish diplomatic ties with China, and called it one of the most correct decisions he had ever made in his life. @USAmbChina David Perdue is also from Georgia.
Local business leaders, such as Coca Cola, UPS, the Home Depot, and Delta Air Lines, see China as a core strategic market. Remaining the No. 1 state for business in the United States, Georgia is also a top choice for many Chinese investors.
I believe the new pair of giant pandas will instill fresh vitality into practical cooperation between China and Georgia, including the city of Atlanta, and will usher in a new phase in China-U.S. subnational engagement.
The arrival of the new pair of pandas is the latest outcome of our joint efforts to implement the two Presidents’ consensus on deepening people-to-people exchanges.
Giant panda conservation cooperation is an integral part of China-U.S. relations and cultural exchanges. Over the past three decades and more, with the personal commitment of both heads of state, the full support of both governments, and the collaboration between researchers in both countries, pandas in the United States have successfully bred and raised 17 cubs, and panda cub survival rates have been raised to over 95%.
This has not only forged more bonds of affinity between our two peoples, but also contributed a joint China-U.S. solution to global biodiversity protection, thus serving as a compelling example of how China and the United States working together can get a lot of big and great things done.
The two sides need to seize the momentum created by the arrival of the two pandas, continue to act on our Presidents’ important consensus, expand the list of cooperation while shortening the list of problems, and actively foster friendship between our peoples, so as to build a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness, and reciprocity with concrete action and promote its sustained development.
As the homeland of giant pandas, China always keeps its doors open. We warmly welcome more American friends to travel to China, to witness our environmental protection efforts among green mountains and rivers, taste the delicious Chinese cuisine, and feel the hospitality of the Chinese people.
Today, from “China Travel” to “China Cool” and to “China Haul”, our dynamic country is attracting more and more tourists from around the world. I encourage you to embark on a journey to China, see a real China through your firsthand experience, deepen mutual understanding through exchanges, and build trust through reaching out to each other, so as to write more beautiful stories of friendship between Chinese and American peoples.
The names of the new pair of pandas carry our warmest wishes to the American people and also for China-U.S. relations. The name of Ping Ping (literally “peace”) embodies our hope for lasting peace of both countries and happiness for both peoples, while the name of Fu Shuang (literally “double happiness”) conveys our expectations for mutually beneficial cooperation between China and the United States and boundless blessings for all.
We trust that, under the loving care of Zoo Atlanta, the two pandas will eat heartily, sleep soundly, and grow healthy and strong in their new home, bringing twice the joy and happiness to everyone who loves them.
Happy Pandas’ Day! 🐼🐼
From the first panda welcomed to Washington D.C. in 1972 to Pingping and Fushuang at Zoo Atlanta in 2026, giant pandas continue to build affection and understanding between the Chinese and American people.
