芬兰决定提前将大熊猫归还中国：实在养不起了！（讲解版）｜E1008

▍原文

A zoo in Finland has blamed rising inflation and upkeep costs for its decision to return two giant pandas to China, more than eight years ahead of the date they were set to go back.

The zoo had invested over 8 million euros in the facility where the animals live and faced annual costs of 1.5 million euros for their upkeep.

The return was a business decision and should not impact relations between the two countries.
