The bears are the second set of cubs born to a pair of polar bears given to China by the government of Finland. They'll be introduced to the public during the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration.

Somewhat unusually, all four cubs have survived. The two two-month olds are doing well, though they rely on human caretakers for food and mobility, though they should be able to move on their own soon.
