When I went to Paris last year, at times I thought I was in Beijing, there were so many Chinese tourists there.
I hear that China has offered it’s law enforcement services to France as a way of keeping Paris safe for it’s touring groups. That’s how interconnected the economies are, and how well known the Parisian problems of invasion are.
If Monsieur Hollande was in office when the offer was made, he probably (rudely) turned it down. French pride being what it is.
