China stopped selling pandas in like the 90s and now only rents them out. Seizing national property like that would create a pretty significant incident.
If it were Cuba or Iran or Venezuala, sure they could, they steal their ships all the time. But not for China.
yeah also it's zoo animals no one wants an international incident over zoo animals. But on the other hand from the minds that brought you panic about a weather balloon
Stealing a panda would be seen by Chinese people like Americans would see China stealing a bald eagle. Even if the Chinese government decided not to escalate, it'd probably lead to a boycott costing America billions of dollars.

any mention of bald eagles is a good time to share what they really sound like since most people think they have some badass scary scream

they actually sound like clucking chickens mostly
How Americans see themselves vs how they actually are, fitting allegory lol
it really is
Honestly it's sort of cute I love it
yeah it's actually better than that screech that you hear in movies
