Chinese protest in streets of Paris

BEIJING - Organizers expected about 10,000 Chinese nationals would take to the streets of Paris on Sunday, appealing for the French government to improve public security in the country where the Chinese community has been frequent victims of robbery.

More than 30 Chinese associations planned to participate in the demonstration under the slogan of "No violence, but security". Among them are Chinese in France from various walks of life, overseas students and victims of crime.

The demonstration, which would be the largest ever by overseas Chinese, would include former French president Jacques Chirac's adopted Vietnamese daughter, and the head of Paris District 20, said Radio France Internationale.
