Amid unrest in California's largest city, China on Monday advised its citizens in Los Angeles to stay vigilant and prioritise their security amid ongoing law enforcement actions targeting immigration-related protests.
Chinese consulate in Los Angeles, in a statement, told its citizens, "to closely monitor official announcements and media reports, stay highly vigilant, strengthen safety precautions, avoid gathering sites, crowded areas, or locations with poor public security."
It also asked the Chinese citizens to avoid "going out at night or travelling alone."
This advisory from China comes as US President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to control immigration protests.
At least 44 people were arrested during demonstrations.
Over the weekend, law enforcement officials used tear gas and flashbang grenades to control protestors. The US president in a sharp attack, accused local officials of failing to control unrest. Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump pledged federal intervention to "solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!."
Earlier on Sunday, around 300 national guard troops arrived in Los Angeles.

'I called the military in Minneapolis': Trump takes swipe at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz; calls him 'dumb and low-IQ individual'
US president Donald Trump and Minnestna Governor Tim Walz US President Donald Trump on Tuesday took a swipe at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over 2020 protests following the murder of George Floyd and called him "a low IQ individual and a dumb person. " While talking to reporters, Trump said, "I called in the military in Minneapolis, but it was seven days. I waited for this guy — the same guy who ran for vice president, who's a very dumb person. He's a low-IQ individual like many Democrats are." He also said that he will never forget in Minnesota, and Minneapolis, which was burning down. "It was gonna burn to the ground, and he wouldn't call the guard. And I waited for a long time, and I called the guard, and I saved it.' The president shared his experience over his visit to Fort Bragg and said that he was with the Generals and they're explaining the different maneuvers, and the love they have for the us Army and the military is beautiful. Earlier, he went to Fort Bragg to mark the upcoming celebration of the US Army's birthday, and delivered a stern speech on military strength and immigration protests 'I want to say a few words about the situation in Los Angeles, California,' Trump said earlier, referring to the deployment of over 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to confront protesters following federal immigration raids. 'The police in LA, who are very good, but they weren't aggressive, like our soldiers. Our soldiers really were aggressive.' Trump also launched attacks on political opponents, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, accusing them of failing to control unrest. 'They're incompetent, and they paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists,' Trump claimed. 'They're engaged in this wilful attempt to nullify federal law and aid the occupation of the city by criminal invaders," he added.

'Maa, ghumne ke chakkar mein vrat thodi tod dungi': Sonam Raghuvanshi's soft voice that masked Raja's murder in motion
NEW DELHI: As the sun dipped behind the misty hills of Meghalaya on May 23, Uma Raghuvanshi made a phone call she would dread for the rest of her life. Her newly-wed son Raja and his wife Sonam were on honeymoon in Shillong and Uma was simply concerned about their wellbeing. It was Gyaras , a sacred fasting day and the devout mother-in-law had hoped Sonam might eat something while hiking. What she got instead was a gentle refusal — and a faintly breathless voice on the other end of the line. 'Ghumne ke chakkar mein vrat thodi tod dungi,' Sonam said softly. 'Just because I'm on a trip doesn't mean I'll break my fast.' She mentioned they were trekking to a waterfall and sounded winded — as though she were climbing. When Uma asked to speak to Raja, Sonam said he was walking ahead and had left his phone in her bag. "That was the last time we ever tried to talk to her," Uma said, her voice shaking. "I could never have imagined that the daughter-in-law, speaking so gently, was actually scouting for a spot to kill my son — perhaps even moments away from doing it." The calm before the murder Cops are now trying to demystify the timing of that phone call — a conversation that may hold the key to understanding when and how, Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The couple had just visited the iconic double-decker bridge in Nongrait village and were hiking uphill when the call was placed. Sonam, calm and composed, told Uma she would not break her religious fast. Police are now trying to ascertain whether Raja was already dead during that call — or, more chillingly, being led to his death even as Sonam spoke sweetly to his mother. "That one call haunts us," said a senior officer. "We now know from interrogations that the murder happened shortly after that phone conversation." ACP Poonamchand Yadav of the crime branch confirmed that the timeline shared by the accused places the killing soon after that call. Investigators believe Sonam was carrying the only mobile phone with her. When Uma asked to speak to Raja, Sonam said, 'Raja is walking ahead his phone is in the bag, I'll get him to call you later.' She was panting, and Uma eventually disconnected the call. Police are now examining call duration, location data, and even the tone of her voice, in what they have described as a 'cold-blooded calm before the kill.'
