Macron is finished. French streets are full of protest and the country is falling apart. France is a third rate power. It can play almost no role in Asia.

I'm only worried about Vincent, and all the child abductions.
There is 150 new child abductions in Japan every year.

No they are not. They are a Nuclear power and a permanent member of the UN security council and they have a credible navy that include aircraft carriers. They are no superpower but they are a second tier power that should not be discounted if they join the US and others in the Indo-Pacific alliance.

France has sent, and has promised Japan that they will continue to send heavy-duty naval warfare equipment to Japan for military exercises. France has territories still today in the South Pacific, and wants to keep the current order in the Pacific. They want to help check China's expansion into the Pacific. What's not clear is how France intends to work together with the US-Japan joint military operations under the US-Japan Security Treaty since they are not a signatory.
