1 aircraft carrier is about as useful as a track car with no spare parts. A minimum of 3 flat tops is required to keep a permanent long term presence -anywhere-
even in your own waters.
The C. Degaulle (which has been plagued with problems since day 1) is little more than a showpiece.

Who are they going to nuke intercontinentally?
Canada?
All france 'needs' is IRBMs. Their ICBM program is a testament to their national hubris, and a
total waste of money.

China has been in the UN security council since it's inception as well. I guess you're gonna argue they were a world power too? Perhaps recently, but that was hardly the case in it's inception.
France, like China, is a regional power.
