"Name that panda"

That's right. The China Wildlife Conservation Association has decided to hold a contest to chose a name for a newborn panda bear. The choices are "Hua Sheng, which means 'China Washington' and 'magnificent,' Sheng Hua, which means 'Washington China' and 'magnificent,' Tai Shan, which means 'peaceful mountain,' Long Shan, which means 'dragon mountain,' Qiang Qiang, which means 'strong, powerful,'"

Is it just me or do the Chinese think very highly of this panda, and also, what's with the obsession with 'Washington'? With a tie in to the U.S. I would think they would use 'Freedom,' 'Patriot' or simply 'Idiot George.'
