Translation:

[There are claims that the living environment of the panda 'Fu Bao' in Byeokyo Special Zone 11 is poor. Is their someone entering Fu Bao's space, touching, feeding, and filming Fu Bao?]

Fact: The panda center where 'Fu Bao' currently lives, the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, has a design that specifically facilitates interaction between neighboring pandas, making it easier for 'Fu Bao' to eventually integrate into the panda population. Additionally, the breeding management area in the center is convenient for keepers to observe and care for 'Fu Bao', allowing them to build trust and reduce stress responses. It has been confirmed that no one other than the staff has entered the facility to touch, feed, or even photograph 'Fu Bao'. Based on Fu Bao's current adaptation status, there are plans to move them to an open area soon and gradually introduce Fu Bao to the public.

Adhere to the truth, reject rumors, respect facts, and distinguish between right and wrong!
