A reporter asked that the giant panda "Tuantuan" donated to Taiwan by mainland China is suspected of suffering from malignant brain tumors. Taipei Zoo recently stated that it has applied for a license and hopes to invite mainland experts to Taiwan to assist in diagnosis and treatment. Does the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council understand the relevant situation and what attitude is on this?

Ma Xiaoguang responded to the inquiry that it is understood that the Giant Panda Protection Research Center will set up an expert group in late September to maintain close contact with the Taipei Zoo, continue to pay attention to the treatment of "Tuantuan", and provide relevant technical support. On the afternoon of October 27, after receiving an invitation letter from Taipei Zoo for assistance, the center plans to select two diagnosis and treatment and nursing experts to Taiwan to participate in the treatment and nursing work of "Tuantuan". It is currently under the assistance of relevant mainland authorities to handle the procedures for going to Taiwan. We hope that with the joint concern and support of all parties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "Tuantuan" will receive better treatment and care and overcome difficulties.
According to previous reports, since October 16, "Tuantuan" has gradually experienced weakness in the hind limbs, decreased appetite, and longer eating and resting time while lying or lying down. Observation also found that the daily bamboo leaves intake, defecation and mobility of "Tuantuan" continues to drop to less than half as usual, and the walking state of the hind limbs is no longer the same. In order to confirm the condition of "Tuantuan", Taipei Zoo arranged for "Tuantuan" to undergo brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other examinations on October 22. The zoo said on the 26th that the results of the second MRI examination of Tuantuan showed that the lesion area was significantly expanded, the course of the disease progressed rapidly, and the probability of suffering from malignant brain tumors was greatly increased.

park revealed that after the results of the "Tuantuan" inspection came out, the Taipei Zoo continued to maintain contact with the Giant Panda Protection Research Center located in Wolong, Sichuan. Experts from both sides analyzed the "Tuantuan" disease images online and reached a basic consensus on treatment, medication and other matters. The head of the park said that considering the recent clinical manifestations of "Tuantuan", it was decided not to perform anesthesia or invasive examinations on "Tuantuan" and to adopt soothing care methods to take care of "Tuantuan".
Taipei Zoo recently posted a picture and text post about the health status of "Tuantuan" on social platforms.

At the same time, the park has set up a special area for "Tuantuan, I want to tell you" at the exit of the exhibition hall, and tourists have left messages and wished "Tuantuan" a speedy recovery.
