		</div><p>Ten panda cubs in China’s leading reserve have made their public debut to mark the coming Lunar New Year.</p>
<p>The pandas, who range in age from four to six months, put in their appearance in a playground at the China Conservation and Research Centre for Giant Panda in the country’s southwest Sichuan province.</p>
<p>The black-and-white fluffballs were adorned with Lunar New Year decorations including lanterns, traditional Chinese knots, paper cars and flags.</p>
<p>One appeared shy and covered its face with both paws when it saw the crowd, while another went rogue and crawled away from its keeper before being caught.</p>
<p>Their keepers, some holding pandas, shouted: “Newborn baby pandas from the class of 2020 … wish you a happy New Year and lots of good luck in the Year of the Ox.”</p>
<p>Bamboo baskets of treats had been prepared for the pandas, with the Chinese character “fu”, meaning good fortune and blessings, written on the outside.</p>
<p>This mimics the Chinese tradition of adults giving red envelopes with money inside to children during the Lunar New Year to pass them good wishes and blessings.</p>
<p>Instead of money, the baby pandas received snacks. Some of them were curious about the baskets, while others were distracted by the toys and decorations nearby.</p>
<p>As of December, there were 44 panda cubs worldwide, with more than half bred in China.</p>
<p>The centre said that the cubs making their public debut on Wednesday had all resulted from natural mating.</p>
<p>The country has prided itself on its efforts to preserve a species that was endangered for many years. Pandas are also a symbol of China and part of its cultural diplomacy.</p>
