@DoACarl China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like _roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.

@TheFivegoodemperors Did you watch the uploader's video? Only 10 Chinese officers were sent to Italy for 3 weeks, to help with the peak season in Italy for Chinese tourists, so is this really that much of a drain of officers and resources? Chinese police may have official authority, but I'm not entirely sure about this program, perhaps the Italian officers can temporarily confer authority onto Chinese officers to help deal with Chinese tourists during the peak season.
Nobody said that Chinese officers only helps tourists from China, they can also assist Italian police to deal with people from other countries, say for example, overseas Chinese such as Chinese Americans, Chinese Singaporeans, Chinese Malaysians, Chinese Europeans, etc. We Chinese make up 20% of the world's population after all.
Europe is growing closer to China, but other Western countries like America, Canada and Australia aren't though. And you personally seem to be against Sino-Italian relations, since you've been nothing if but extremely negative so far, so it looked as though you were against China growing relations with Europe. Have you heard of the Belt and Road Initiative? An overland route meant to connect China with Europe and bring development to all those landlocked countries in between?

@TheFivegoodemperors GorillaGuerilla GorillaGuerilla According to your 1st source: Teams will offer language and legal help to mainland visitors under landmark exchange between the two countries, so this supports my earlier point that they will serve as translators. Also, while they're priority is for mainland tourists, that does not mean that they will not help with translation issues with other tourists such as Chinese Americans, Chinese Malaysians, Chinese Singaporeans, etc. These tourists may speak English, but the Italian police may not necessarily do, so Chinese police can once again serve as translators to bridge the language gap. What's "trusting" authorities from the mainland even got to do with this? If Chinese police have limited authority in Italy like you said, then what's there to be afraid? Also taken from your source:
Four Chinese officers received special training in Beijing before their assignment, and spoke Italian as well as English, Xinhua reported. Each has been paired with a local partner and they have been deployed at the busiest tourist attractions in Rome and Milan.
You appear to be citing your own personal experiences to support your claim that many, if not most Chinese Americans hate the CCP/PRC, based on your personal experience. China is actually the world's 4th most visited country, after France, Spain and the United States, according to World Tourism Rankings, seeing some 62.9 million international tourists to China in 2018.

China is also the most popular tourism destination in Asia, surpassing even other Asian tourists destinations like Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, etc in sheer number of tourists.
You just seemed extremely negative about this whole police program. Even earlier you said "If UK/USA police sent to Beijing and the reason given was to help tourists/translate, they'd be labelled as a foreign imperialist spies on Weibo and killed by a mob" but what makes you harbor such extreme negativity towards China and our people? According to your 1st source, Italian police will head to Beijing and Shanghai to offer a similar service to Italian visitors in a few months.
And China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a long term plan by CCP to connect China and Europe, so of course, you'll won't see the results in just 5 years. China can afford to pull this off, because CCP abolished the presidential term limits, so our leaders can remain in power long enough to see their plans for China bloom and come to fruition the future. Whereas in America for example, their US presidents eventually have to step down as president once their term limits are over after 4-8 years, so at the most, American presidents can only make short term plans for America's future, instead of long term plans spanning, say 10 years or more.
USA is only interested in short term gains, whereas China is interested in long term benefits.

@sp.8727 Of course tourists wanting to visit another country should at least learn some of the basics of the local language, at least enough to get around. Like in China, there are some foreign tourists that come here and some of them (not all of them) expect our signs to be in English instead of Chinese. I feel the same way towards these foreign tourists as to Chinese tourists behavior in other countries.
Learning basic Italian may be sufficient to get you around in Italy, but when legal issues crop up, that's where Chinese police officers come in to attend to legal issues between Chinese tourists and Italian police. As for translation software, they are improving yes, but a real interpreter is still the best solution to translating legal issues between countries.
I mean, would you trust a translation software to explain your situation succinctly to a foreign police officer? Personally, I prefer an officer that understands the language I'm speaking, and probably most Chinese tourists in Italy would feel that way. And as for providing more funding and resources for Chinese embassies, aren't Chinese policemen part of the resources being sent to Italy? Since Italy has no problems with this arrangement, then why not continue with this?
