"French-Asian associations are marching for the first time against the lack of security," said the president of the organisers, Chan Sing Mo. "If the problem continues, we'll come out again in larger numbers."
In the last few months, Chinese in the French capital have been subjected to attacks and violent robberies by youths in Belleville and other parts of eastern Paris, and many feel at a disadvantage as immigrants.

PARIS (AFP) – Paris police tear-gassed demonstrators from the city's Chinese community Sunday when a march to protest a spate of violent robberies descended into scuffles after a demonstrator's bag was stolen.
Police said some 8,500 demonstrators turned out onto the streets of city's eastern Belleville district, where they called for "coordinated and concerted" action by the authorities against the growing number of attacks.
Trouble broke out as the demonstration was breaking up with scuffles erupting between a group of around a dozen youths and 50 young demonstrators, police sources told AFP.
According to multiple witnesses, the trouble started when a bag belonging to one of the demonstrators was stolen. Police were forced to intervene and three people were arrested, said the police source.
Police tear-gassed the crowd after objects were thrown at them, prompting demonstrators to overturn cars and block traffic in the area for several hours.
Belleville is an ethnically diverse district of the French capital that has seen an influx of Asian immigrants in the last 10 years.
According to organisers from French-Chinese organisations, who distributed 5,000 T-shirts and stickers saying "Security For All", it was the largest demonstration by the Chinese community on record in France. 7 Replies to Anti-violence Chinese protest in Paris ends in tear gassing |

The young "maghrebins" who had stolen the bag during the protest had to run away not to be beaten up by the angry chinese mob.
They eventually had to shelter in a police station with bag still in their hands. LOL.
www.liberation.fr . . .
Funny enough, this left wing newspaper speaks about "maghrébins" and "africains" instead of the usual politically correct "jeunes de banlieue" (suburb youth).
It seems that it is right to call arabs "racailles" (thugs) if you're chinese. |

France is soooo fucked up.
When police caught a criminal, he's released only few hours after.
The prison are full.
Criminals think they are above the law, they don't fear the police / justice. |
