Topic 3:  Panda TourismIn Ya'an, Sichuan province, tourism officials have invested around 2 billion RMB in a 2 sq km panda park in a bid to increase the number of tourists.  However, the Sichuan pandering⁵ to panda pals⁶ does not end there.  In order to celebrate the World Cup, officials had planned to have one panda pick the results of matches a la Paul the Octopus⁷.  Fortunately, for our panda patience and the furry⁸ balls of love, the publicity⁹ stunt¹⁰ was canceled.

Would you go as far as to say that we're seeing our cute furry friends being exploited for money making schemes?
