They came to assimilate Italy.:-)
Overseas Chinese rarely starts any riot. I never recall once at all. They were bullied right out in the Philippines by the Spaniards, by the Indonesians, by Malaysians, in Vietnam, etc.... the chinese in the US is very quiet and go by their own business. Untenured... I personally think it is the fault of the business being too harsh and trying to enforce stuffs that go beyond their authority, that makes it seems racist. BTW, these chinese are not there as citizens but as residents doing business.... they do not have to integrate into the society, like those who rioted in France... those who rioted in France are citizens of France who are being treated as second class citizens... please clarify the case.
You’re wrong.... they are not there to be Italian! Boot all foreigners out of China? Can you guess how many foreigners there are in China and do they “integrate”??????? Stop being a racist yourself!!!
When multiculturism in Asia is highly tolerated but never in European Society? hahahahahahah, I thought western civilization tends to be more “civilized”? Take your pick in many Asian countries, how many westerners there are and how much they are being tolerated... they never behave like the locals... now, you cannot take 100,000 chinese in a big city? Who is less tolerant?

Don’t you all know this news? The Italian youngsters can riot and kill police for nothing.... does it seems like the chinese can also riot for a cause at least? hahahahaahha
“they do not have to integrate into the society”
They do (and should) have to obey the laws of the country in which they they reside as does (and should) any immigrant or visitor to China.
Other articles relate how the Chinese business in the Milan area have long flouted the traffic laws, much to the dismay of local residents. The traffic laws are applied across the board in Milan but the Chinese businesses do not find them convenient.
It is surely a sign of great disrespect towards the host country’s people’s to wave the flag of a foreign country (be it of Mexico in the US or ofChina in Italy).
One issues, the traffic laws are incredibly stupid and if the U.S. had similar statutes most at the Free Republic would be up in arms over nanny-statism.
The traffic violation, is as the other person mentioned, because a Chinese business owner was transporting commercial goods in a private vehicle. More precisely I have read that this is actually legal in Milan, barring certain hours. The business owners crime was transporting them at 9:00 A.M. when the legal time begins at 10:00 A.M. and ends during the evening.
I think you're saying there are many cities in China where there are neighborhoods featuring MOSTLY white people...? Where?
A demonstration against the government is quite different than a display of cultural pride and heritage like St. Pat’s day.
In the first, you put yourself above the will of the indigenous people and their laws. Result? The police truncheons come out. Reasonable people, on the other hand, appreciate the pride taken of one’s cultural background, no matter the nationality.
I am looking forward to more of your stupid postings and accusations of racism.
But aren't you afraid they will miss you at Demo Underground?
Probably some union sponsored law: All business goods must be transported via union drivers.
What are you talking about? How many foreign papers are available in China? How many foreign broadcast channels? Are Chinese children allowed to attend non-Chinese language schools?
Between the above, and another clip indicating it stemmed from a parking infraction, I'm going to guess that the traffic authorities wanted to regulate commercial deliveries, probably to outside certain times of day to reduce traffic congestion, and this merchant decided to bypass commercial vehicle rules by using a private vehicle
But how many of them systematically break the rules of their host country - rules that don't touch upon fundamental beliefs (unless you consider traffic laws a component of one's fundamental beliefs)?
Some may perceive Free Trade or Free Zones as fundamental beliefs. I’m being somewhat facetious of course.
On a serious note, Freepers of all people should know that not all laws are just. Not all laws should be vigilantly enforced. The cause of the riots may not have been the ticket anyway, but rather the perception of mistreatment by the police of the pregnant woman fined.
Your message to me is that less than 0.03% of the Chinese populace is "registered foreigners", isn't it?
I'm sure there are neighborhoods for which the frequency of foreign faces appears disproportionately high, yes. Filled? You're saying MOST faces there are foreign, right?
Like Chinatown in SF, right?
