Ten Chinese police officers began joint patrols in four Italian cities Monday, according to a statement from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.

Four groups of Chinese police officers will join their Italian counterparts for patrols in the cities of Rome, Milan, Florence and Naples from June 5 to 25.

The 20-day program also includes a Chinese-language police hotline where calls are answered by Chinese police officers, who will help Italian police with security issues concerning Chinese tourists, the statement said.

It's true. Tourism is the most whorish of all industries. In this new millennium, the diametric concepts of 'travel' and 'barriers' need to be re-balanced.

Or in other words, ultimately the idea of 'great walls' might be China's most important contribution to world culture.
