i think it's a good opportunity for india (and perhaps even japan, which makes very good diesel electric submaries) to explore SSN nuclear propulsion technology from france, now that their $40 billion deal with oz has been nixed. the french generally are not fond of china, and have been (probably because of arms deals like rafale) quite diplomatically supportive of india.
a tripartite deal: france with propulsion tech transfer, japan with chassis tech transfer, and india builds the actual boats for both domestic use and export. that sounds pretty good to me.

Despite the Chinese regime's sweeping efforts to impose its own authoritarian model onto the free world, its biggest enemy is itself, according to a French government-affiliated think tank.
The findings came from a nearly 650-page French-language report, "Chinese Influence Operations," from the Institute for Strategic Studies of Military Schools (IRSEM), an independent agency affiliated with the French Ministry of Armed Forces.
