    These titles suck lol. Claws of the Panda? The second pearl harbor? These are things I would name fictional xenophobic books as a joke.

      Hmm, what’s something scary and threatening that I can associate with China? Oh, I know! Pandas!

          I’ll be honest, I’d be hard pressed to name many animals strongly associated with specific countries. Off the top of my head:

          USA - Bald eagle/American bison
          Mexico - Golden eagle
          Canada - Caribou
          Peru - Alpaca
          Bolivia - Guinea pig
          Russia - Brown bear
          India - Indian elephant/Bengal tiger
          China - Giant panda
          Australia - a zillion species only native to Australia
          Japan - tanuki (raccoon dog)/those macaques that hang out in hot springs

          …yup, that’s all I’ve got.

            Canada is obviously a beaver! Or a moose. But I think the beavers are more hug shaped and fluffy. I’d say a penguin for Antarctica, but that’s a continent, not a country.

            They stand on their hind legs and show their claws to appear larger and more threatening.

              Which, because they’re tiny and hug shaped, looks like “pick me up! I want a hug!”

      “The Second Pearl Harbor” sounds like a joke title or punchline from an animated comedy
