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.
