In a recent article on the San Francisco Standard, it was reported that Mayor London Breed faced backlash from Chinese-American voters for her decision to return a panda gifted by China. The panda, named Ming Ming, had been living in San Francisco’s zoo for several years before Breed announced plans to send it back to China.
The decision sparked outrage among the Chinese-American community, who felt that the move was disrespectful to China and to the panda itself. Many Chinese-American voters saw this as a betrayal by Mayor Breed, who had previously touted her support for the Chinese-American community.
In response to the backlash, Mayor Breed defended her decision, citing financial constraints and the need to prioritize resources for the city’s human residents. However, this explanation did little to quell the anger and disappointment felt by Chinese-American voters who considered Ming Ming to be a beloved symbol of friendship between the United States and China.
The controversy surrounding Ming Ming the panda has put Mayor Breed in a difficult position as she seeks re-election. It remains to be seen how this issue will impact her standing with Chinese-American voters in the upcoming election.
