China has received at least a hundred million dollars for loaner pandas. CITES requires that the money be paid to China for the preservation of the species. Almost none of this money has been spent by China for the preservation of pandas.
That's simply not true. They do get special protection in China -- you can get executed (and people have been) for poaching a panda.
Also, the Panda loaners are giving about $1 million per year is the usual amount. There aren't 100 panda loaners, more like 2 dozen of them world wide.
I believe the ones that Taiwan would receive are fee-free.
