China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Mao Ning, staunchly defended the Thai-Sino repatriation of 40 Chinese nationals (implicitly Uyghurs), asserting the US has no right to interfere in this cooperation.
Mao Ning stated that the repatriation adheres to both countries' domestic laws and international practices, aiming to help citizens reunite with their families and resume normal lives.
China strongly condemned US entry bans on Thai officials involved in the repatriation, accusing the US of manipulating Xinjiang-related issues and interfering in China's domestic affairs.
Mao Ning criticized the US for applying double standards, labeling its actions as "typical bullying" given its own high rate of deportations of noncitizens.

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.
