當地時間6月20日下午3時（北京時間6月20日21時），8500多名法國華人華僑高舉著“反對暴力、我要安全”的橫幅，振臂高呼，從法國巴黎美麗城出發，抗議長期針對華僑華人的暴力搶盜行為，呼吁法國當局采取措施，改善巴黎安全狀況。此次游行成為法國華人歷史上首次因社會問題引發的最大規模游行。游行結束時，因游行人群中有人的包被盜，導致部分參與游行的華裔青少年與一群本地年輕人爆發小規模沖突，最終遭警察發射催淚瓦斯驅散。據介紹，美麗城是巴黎市內多種族聚居的一個地區，過去十年間該地區亞裔移民的數量呈明顯上升趨勢。

A protest against violence targeting the Chinese community in Paris ended on Sunday with demonstrators being tear-gassed by police.
About 8,500 people turned out on the streets of city's eastern Belleville district, where they called for "coordinated and concerted" action by the authorities against a growing number of attacks.
Trouble broke out as the demonstration was ending when scuffles erupted between a group of around a dozen youths and 50 young demonstrators, police said.
According to multiple witnesses, trouble started when a bag belonging to one of the demonstrators was stolen. Police intervened and said three people were arrested.
Police tear-gassed the crowd after objects were thrown at them, prompting demonstrators to overturn cars and block traffic in the area for several hours.
Belleville is an ethnically diverse district of the French capital that has seen an influx of Asian immigrants in the last 10 years.
According to organizers from French-Chinese organizations, who distributed 5,000 T-shirts and stickers saying "Security For All", it was the largest demonstration by the Chinese community on record in France.
"French-Asian associations are marching for the first time against the lack of security," said the president of the organizers, Chan Sing Mo. "If the problem continues, we'll come out again in larger numbers."
In the last few months, Chinese in the French capital have been subjected to attacks and violent robberies by youths in Belleville and other parts of eastern Paris, and many feel at a disadvantage as immigrants.
"Those who can't speak French or don't have proper papers are not able to complain," a florist in Belleville said.
