Chinese police will be patrolling the streets of Paris this summer alongside their French counterparts to help combat a surge in attacks against high-spending Chinese tourists.
Chinese visitors to Paris are estimated to spend an average of €1,470 (£1,205) each on shopping, mainly buying designer brands, according to Global Blue, the Swiss-based duty free services company.
An interior ministry official said the number of Chinese police to be deployed in Paris was still being decided. “Their role will be preventive and they will carry out patrols with French police at tourist sites,” the official said.
The Chinese are the biggest buyers of duty free goods in Paris. In an indication of the importance Paris attaches to encouraging Chinese visitors, Laurent Fabius, the foreign minister, personally welcomed tourists arriving on a flight from Beijing last week.

I have no thoughts on this. I am just a reporter of news.
it could actually send out the totally wrong signal for those Chinese Visitors
if they don't see a Chinese policeman around it might not be safe
hahahahaha How to make yourself sound important when your not!!
Now there's an idea.
Makes sense to me after all it isn't much different from various VIPs who never go anywhere without a privately funded entourage of bodyguards.
duplicate - the machine has gone mad
That's better than being a citizen journalist at least.
Of course importing Chinese cops would be a waste of time in London - as every other person is an immigrant of some sort so no-one can work out who is a local or who is a tourist
Exactly. Makes sense to have people there who can speak the relevant language, Chinese in the case of Paris and English in the case of footballers.
Why post something you have no thoughts on?
