In December, San Francisco Mayor London Breed wrote Chinese officials saying its zoo would be 'great partners in panda conservation'
Three months after China's president indicated an interest in sending giant pandas to U.S. zoos — to California, in particular — there has been radio silence on the topic, at least in public.

'As this chapter of our giant panda program closes, we remain committed to the conservation of this species and look forward to continued collaboration with our Chinese colleagues,' the zoo said at the time.
