Twin Pandas Return to China Amid Diplomatic Tensions

Two panda siblings, Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei, are going back to China from Japan.

They were born in Japan but belong to China.

They are leaving because China and Japan are not getting along well.

The pandas have been very popular in Japan, and their departure marks the first time in about 50 years that Japan won't have any pandas.

China has used pandas as a way to make friends with other countries, but now it's not clear if Japan will get new pandas anytime soon.

The pandas' parents are still in Japan, but the cubs have to go back to China.

People in Japan are sad to see them go, and many wanted to see them one last time before they leave.
