@animiking04: Man Says Chinese Businesses Were Targeted During French Riots Because "They're Too Rich" A street interview has drawn attention after a second- or third-generation migrant clained Chinese-owned businesses were being targeted during riots in Paris because their owners were wealthy. In the clip shared by @visegrad24, he bluntly stated, "They're too rich. It's not fair," while referring to Chinese residents wearing nice clothes and driving expensive cars. His remarks appear to frame their success as a justification for looting during the October 2026 protests. One of the businesses reportedly attacked was La Barrique, a bar-tabac operated for seven years by Aline Li, a Chinese immigrant from Zhejiang. Looters forced open its metal shutters, stole cigarettes, alcohol, and lottery tickets, then set the premises on fire. Li was also beaten, suffering a forehead injury that required stitches with a swollen eye. Some attackers, including children as young as 12, filmed the destruction while laughing. The incident highlighted the violence faced by local business owners during the unrest. Official estimates put the destruction at 200 looted shops in Paris, plus around 3,000 affected businesses nationwide, including family stores, luxury boutiques, chain restaurants. Chinese-owned businesses were among those attacked, but the violence extended. The interview sparked discussion about resentment toward economic success, particularly the entrepreneurship, long working hours, savings, and upward mobility often associated with Chinese immigrant communities.
