The issue in France is that these youths are just lost between a French "native" culture they reject and their ancestral culture - which France rejects. The tragedy of a youth identified as Nahel M., a teenager of North African descent who was shot dead due to traffic violations after being stopped by traffic police in a Paris suburb on June 27, sparked a week of chaos in France. Many may disagree with me, and of course not every story is one of success, but the recent uproar in France, its banlieues and beyond shows Europe might want to take a leaf out of China's playbook on this one.
