The embassy refuted accusations of killing repatriated Muslims and banning the Qur'an, stating China constitutionally protects human rights and religious freedom for its citizens.
It acknowledged a decade-old issue concerning Chinese individuals, understood to be Uyghurs, who entered Thailand due to anti-government elements, assuring their protection under Chinese law upon repatriation.

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.
