The truth is more banal and embarrassing to the French. China is in the making and coming up with its own exciting and exquisite brands and labels-since a long time ,I see clothing apparel worn on the streets of Shanghai a long time before London ore Milan and Paris pics the trend up.

I can understand why chinese people are so angry. It's really painful to see Jin Jing being attacked in Paris. I don't believe LVMH should be the one to blame, but French should know the Chinese are very patriotic and care a lot about dignity. In other words, if they lose faces in a important event such as the olympics, they would very very angry.

This is a good lesson for both the Europeans and the Chinese. Things may go in the direction that no one had imagined.

Well done, A.Melvin, glad to see someone isn't blinded by their own hypocrisy. China won the Olympic games by promising to improve its human rights. It has not improved them. It continues to execute 8000+ of its own people each year, often without fair trial, has murdered innocent Tibetans and forcibly sterilised Tibetan women. But M. Arnault is worried he may lose profit from the sales of his tastelessly ostentatious goods so he takes the blood money and lies like so many others. Of course we know there are many inadequacies in Europe and America too, but minute compared to the despotic cruelty in China. Well done to the brave protesters in Paris!

Sarah Duhau, so you're against loony lefties? Good, I'm glad you're opposed to the Chinese Communist Party. Me too. Their cruelty is terrible isn't it? They must be loony! Lucky for you that you live in France and not in China!

I'm French.
And I'm totally against those loony lefties.
To any Chinese people reading this, please accept my apologies, and remember that these demonstrators do not represent all people in Europe, far from it.

You should understand Chinese's feelings about what hapened during the Olympic torch relay in Paris. We are very dispointed since that, because "France" means Great and Romantic for us before. Tit for tat is fair play. Do not doubt Chinese's determination at anytime!

The Spanish? Rape / carry a cross, the British? Everything (rape/slavery/murder), the Americans? Slavery/killing the American Indian and more), the Middle East? (Slavery ect.), the Industrial Revolution? (oil/pollution ect.)

Why pick on China? Human rights? What about driving downtown on a dark street in Paris, London?Get mugged?

Why is it the the ones that have the most to say have the least experience/ knowledge?

I believe this is only the beginning of the few Chinese boycott on France. Wait till after the Olympics and depending on how playboy Sarkozy behaves from now, we are going to see France suffering even more from Chinese boycotts that is going to be very painful!!! OUCH!!!!

"Mr Arnault urges his compatriots to stop trying to teach lessons, since there are a lot of things which need improving in the world and even here in Europe”.
What would Arnault not say to save sales of his bags and baubles. In case you have forgotten Mr Arnault, China executes hundreds of citizens annually without any form of proper trial, supports despotic and violent regimes, represses non recognised religions and is one the globes' leading polluters.
You may speak for France but don't claim to speak for others
