Violent Attack on Chinese Tourists in France Sparks International Concern

A bus carrying 41 Chinese tourists was attacked by black-clad rioters in Marseille, France, as violence and protests continued in the country. The rioters attempted to board the bus and pull passengers out, causing damage to the vehicle. Some Chinese tourists on the bus were injured, but the driver managed to drive to a safe zone. The incident prompted the group to change their travel plans and head directly to Switzerland. The French government reported over 1,300 arrests nationwide during the protests, and the Chinese Embassy in France issued a statement advising Chinese citizens to take safety precautions and avoid areas of unrest.
