Good luck France. Remember what happened to Canada after the Meng Wanzhou situation? Wasn't great. Not saying don't enforce the laws, just... good luck.
I believe that everyone's thoughts are influenced by the information they receive. We have some stereotypes about certain countries and peoples. But in reality, we have neither been there in person nor do we know any of the people from there. Our impressions of them are entirely imposed on us by the media, and it's truly sad that we have a negative view of them because of these impressions.
