Beijing has filed a protest to the French authorities following the killing of the country's national in Paris by a French police officer, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Tuesday.
BEIJING (Sputnik) — On Sunday, the Chinese citizen was killed in a standoff with French police in Paris. On Tuesday, the Chinese Embassy in France confirmed the citizenship of the man, whose death had already caused protests against police brutality and mass detentions.
"The foreign ministry pays special attention to the incident. Just after the case, the ministry demanded the Chinese Embassy in France to launch a mechanism of actions in case of emergencies and filed a protest to the French side," Hua said.
She added that Beijing had demanded Paris to take steps to protect safety and rights of Chinese nationals in France.
According to the spokeswoman, the ministry would monitor the development of the situation.
Earlier in the day, French media reported that Paris police had arrested 35 people after a rally by the capital's Asian community over the murder of a Chinese man by a policeman turned violent.

Let's see the two versions of what happened according to the family and the Police.
Police ;
Police officers were called to the family home in the wake of a family disagreement.
According to the police, Mr Liu was shot and killed after he rushed to assault one of the officers as soon as the door was opened and injured one officer. The other officer opened fire to defend his colleague and fatally shot Mr Liu. The injured officer was directly rushed to hospital,with non-life threatening injuries.
Family ;
One of Mr Liu's children stated that they heard a knock at the door and when looked at the hole,saw two armed officers,a man and a woman. Their father came to the door with the scissors he was using to take care of the fish he was cooking. They added that the knocking on the door became stronger and shouted "Calm down,make less noise". According to them the officers smashed the door,the shot was gone and the father found himself on the ground.
Seems legit.
