Actually, China DOES own all of the Giant Pandas (not sure about Red Pandas, which are a completely different species anyway). Pandas are a highly endangered species, and since they are located in the wild only in China, the Chinese government can place whatever restrictions they see fit in order to protect and conserve the species. (As far as I know, this is true of any species indigenous to one particular part of the world, like kangaroos in Australia).

Any pandas seen in zoos outside of China are on loan to that zoo for a certain period of time (during which the zoo pays China yearly), and are then returned to China. Any panda cubs born in zoos have to be returned to China after a while (I think four years).
