Potentially possible but let's not forget that China doesn't want French jets, ships or tanks, they want French defence technology to be reapplied to their own jets, ships and tanks. That's risky low-margin tech transfer of doubtful help for the most troubled bits of the French defence industry.
What France needs most of all are customers who are happy to buy made-in-France complete weapons systems, ideally like Saudi Arabia who takes everything off the shelf and relies on France for training and maintenance as well (very high-margin business!!)
