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.

‘Embarrassing moment': Trump and Melania booed at Kennedy Center
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were booed as they attended the opening performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday night. Video footage from the event shows the couple entering the venue and waving to the audience, who respond with a chorus of boos as they make their way to their seats. The video soon went viral on social media, sparking reactions. One person commented on X: 'It's hard for maga brains to understand this but..... A lot of people hate trump.' Another wrote, 'Trump just got BOOED after arriving at the Kennedy Center for a performance of Les Misérables. There were some cheers, which is expected because he and his buddies have taken over the Kennedy Center and installed their own.' A third person wrote, 'I guess Trump didn't realize that any place where art and culture is highlighted wouldn't have a Maga audience. Also in attendance were Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance. The Vances were reportedly booed earlier this year during a separate appearance at the Kennedy Center to watch the National Symphony Orchestra. CNN reported last month that several cast members of Les Misérables chose not to perform on the night of Trump's visit. According to sources, the cast was informed they could opt out. Both ensemble members and lead actors declined to perform as a form of protest after Trump appointed himself as chairman of the Kennedy Center. The administration also replaced much of the existing board with conservative allies and named Richard Grenell, former acting Director of National Intelligence under Trump, as the Kennedy Center's president and interim director. In response to the cast's protest, Grenell issued a statement, saying, "The Kennedy Center will no longer fund intolerance. Any performer who isn't professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won't be welcomed.' 'In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn't hire – and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience," he continued. 'The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoys a performance together.'

Israel fully prepared to launch military operation in Iran: Reports
Jerusalem, June 12 (UNI) Israel has informed US officials that it is fully prepared to launch a military operation in Iran, the CBS News broadcaster reported on Thursday, citing sources. Washington expects that Iran may launch a retaliatory strike on some American facilities in neighboring Iraq, the report said. This is one of the reasons why Washington advised some Americans to leave the region earlier on Wednesday, the report added. At the same time, Israeli officials reportedly declined to comment on information about the possible start of the operation. On Tuesday, the Axios news portal reported, citing Israeli and American officials, that US President Donald Trump said in a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he believes in the possibility of concluding a nuclear deal with Iran and opposes the use of military action at the present time.
