Political panda-ring

For a furry endangered species, more intent on chewing bamboo than saving itself (and its species) from extinction by procreating, the Giant Panda is again in the media's focus.

China is offering a pair of the cuddly mammals to Taipei. But the pro-independence DPP administration (they want to break away and declare independence) are looking the gift "panda" in the mouth so far.

Jokes on the net are ribbing the DPP for fearing that the "Chinese" pandas are 5th column infiltrators. They might break out from Taipei Zoo and welcome the Communist invaders sort of like the Trojan Horse...???!!


I just wanna chew bamboo...
