BEIJING (Reuters) -&nbsp;China's Consulate General in Marseille complained to&nbsp;France&nbsp;after&nbsp;a bus carrying a&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;tour group in the southern city had its windows smashed leading to minor injuries,&nbsp;China's Consular Affairs Office said in a statement on Sunday.
The Consulate General's formal complaint called for&nbsp;France&nbsp;to ensure the safety of&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;citizens and their property, the statement said.
The bus was attacked by rioters on Thursday, according to state broadcaster CCTV, during violence which hit French cities in recent days since the police shooting of a teenager of North African descent. The&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;tourists&nbsp;have since left&nbsp;France, the Consular Office statement said.
Chinese&nbsp;citizens in&nbsp;France&nbsp;or heading to&nbsp;France&nbsp;should "strengthen prevention" and be "more vigilant and cautious" in light of the&nbsp;riots&nbsp;which have swept across the country in recent days, the Consular office statement added.
Rioting across&nbsp;France&nbsp;appeared to be less intense on Saturday, as tens of thousands of police had been deployed in cities across the country&nbsp;after&nbsp;the funeral of the teenager, although there was some tension in central Paris and sporadic clashes in Nice, Strasbourg and Marseille.
