As our Media Watch team has been reporting this week, the huge protests by the Chinese community in Paris have been causing a stir here in China.

That's right. Thousands of French-Chinese protesters took to the streets on Sunday following a spate of violent robberies and attacks targeting Chinese people in the French capital.

Police said around 8,500 people took part in the protests. The Chinese media reported that the number was closer to 20,000. Whatever the actual numbers, no-one disputes that this was the largest demonstration that the Chinese community has ever held in France.

Reports say a violent robbery at a Chinese wedding sparked the protests. A man at the wedding opened fire on the thieves and was later arrested. The thieves got away.
