Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, China has sent about 23 giant pandas to nine countries as a token of friendship and goodwill, according to media reports. The Chinese government put an end to the giveaway policy in 1982 due to the scarcity of the species and the need for better protection of the animal.
據報道，自1949年中華人民共和國成立以來，中國已向9個國家贈送了約23只大熊貓，作為友誼和善意的象征。1982年之后，鑒于大熊貓數量急劇減少，亟待保護，中國停止了向外國贈送大熊貓的做法。
