A week after two students from China were shot and killed less than a mile from campus, it has been announced that more police will be patrolling the neighborhoods around USC.
Thirty more Los Angeles Police Department officers have been stationed in the area, more security cameras are slated to be installed, and a prosecutor will focus on prosecuting crimes around USC.
The changes are supposed to reassure the campus community, which has been frightened and saddened by the shooting deaths.
A memorial service for the victims, Ming Qu and Ying Wu, drew more than 1,000 people. But overseas the reaction has been different. The victims have been vilified on Chinese Internet sites.
Former China Correspondent for the Wall Street Journal Mei Fong joins the show to explain why.

Mei Fong is a lecturer at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
