The only flaw in that argument is this will not distract from his domestic troubles.one bit. The French public are far too up in arms to be distracted and Macron of all people will know this. No I think he has been told by the Chinese to keep his nose out of what they regard as their affair. Whether he has been offered anything in return is the question.
