Chinese police operating in other countries is nothing new
19 Sept 22:58Key points summarised by AI
Chinese police engage in joint patrols with foreign law enforcement agencies, a concept new to some but established in countries like Croatia, Italy, and Serbia.
These collaborations primarily aim to ensure the safety and improve the experience of Chinese tourists and citizens abroad, as well as protect Chinese interests.
Officers selected for these international patrols undergo specific training covering local culture, diplomatic etiquette, and international law enforcement cooperation.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
