I wonder if this means that the Westinghouse offer is off the table now.
Geesh I wonder if it has anything to do with the French push to end the EU arms embargo against China? Or this some other pay off to the French by the Chinese?
The French are the world leaders in nuclear technology, having focused so tenaciously upon it for 50 years now.
China is already a nuclear power, so this has no proliferation potential.
This is simply an example of the French being very successful in a market niche in which they excel.
Comparable niches are biomedical and pharmaceutical research, commercial rocket launches, chemical engineering and various luxury consumer goods.
Oh, and building really, really huge airplanes.
