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.

And selling to murdering tyrants!
Except for the fact that China has been helping Iran, North Korea and was helping Lybia (before it surrendered) with their nuclear programs.
