Bing Dwen Dwen is the name of one of the two mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The giant snowsuit-wearing panda was designed by Cao Xue, a chief designer at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The fact that he is now waving to passers-by on the Wangfujing shopping mile in Beijing shows the message the CP wants to convey to the people in the country: the Games will take place! Recently, more and more foreign countries had signaled a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Games in Beijing due to human rights violations against the Muslim minority of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. No amount of panda diplomacy will help there.
