Agree, they will tell you black is white, but the number of arrests tell us the truth about the social unrest

However even last weekend, there were "A total of 1,435 people have been arrested nationwide following the latest round of weekend protests in France, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez"

and
"
As of late October 2026, nearly 6,900 people have been arrested across France during the severe nationwide student and economic protests. [1, 2]
The unrest—driven by demands for better education conditions, public services, and relief from the rising cost of living—has spanned multiple weeks and intensified over consecutive weekends: [1]

• • First Major Weekend (October 17): Massive demonstrations involving over 550,000 people erupted into intense rioting and looting. During this initial wave of unrest, more than 2,700 people were arrested in a single weekend

The Australian example would be the covid lockdown protests, where total arrests were in the 100's

1435 arrested in the whole France. It's not the Revolution Francaise !

one France problem is our justice : too lazy, too left sided. Too few are sentenced to a term of imprisonment, so no fear to come back next time.

The world says China owns Taiwan and it's internal politics

That's disputable, the CCP certainly doesn't have a right to anything since no one elected them.

Disputable by whom? Even the US has a one China policy

The United States One China policy is a diplomatic framework that recognizes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as the sole legal government of China while maintaining strong, unofficial relations with Taiwan



The United Nations follows General Assembly Resolution 2758, adopted on October 25, 1971, which recognizes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as the sole legitimate representative of China to the UN and expelled the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek (the Republic of China / Taiwan).

This is not near the end of the protests. I was in the two last protests on saturdays. The strength of protesters : many people, pacifism and non violence. A political answer must be given instead of repression.

This government should go before the end of its last six months. It can't do anything serious within 6 months

Most would be civil, My posts on the arrests and destruction being real and not a distortion, Was to counter the argument by Bon, Both are right, tabloids lie, but there is a real issue

Don't believe the tabloids. They always distort the truth.
