Photos: Chinese students show their love for the motherland at Place de la République in Paris

Shanghaiist's Paris correspondent Hélène Franchineau brings us these photos of a demonstration conducted by the Chinese student community there on Saturday in protest against the western media's biased reporting of events within China. On the same day, similar protests were conducted by the Chinese community across the United States. The anti-CNN demonstration which took place outside CNN's studios in downtown Los Angeles attracted "thousands of Chinese Americans and overseas Chinese" according to this Xinhua report. Another demonstration in the Upper Senate Park in Washington D.C., just across the street from the U.S. Capitol Building, attracted about 300 protestors.
