China offers Taiwan giant pandas

China has announced a series of goodwill gestures towards Taiwan, including the gift of two giant pandas.

Pandas are considered China's ultimate diplomatic gesture, though it is not clear if Taiwan will accept the offer.

China is also preparing to lift a ban on its tourists visiting the island and to ease restrictions on some agricultural products.

The offer came on the final day of an historic visit to the mainland by Taiwanese opposition leader, Lien Chan.
