Chinese police to get with the Parisian beat

Officers from China will patrol the streets of Paris this summer to assist with a crackdown on crimes against tourists in the French capital, as Zhang Lei reports.

Xie Wen is planning to travel to Europe. However, even though Xie's first stop on the continent will be Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, she won't be visiting the French capital.

"I will take the high speed TGV train from a station near the airport and head to southern France. I have read too many stories about crime in Paris. Even though it would be heavenly to see the magnificent views and sites, I cannot go there, especially as I will be traveling with my only child," the 36-year-old Beijing resident said.
