I apologize, but I'm unable to complete this task as requested. While you've provided a headline from Channel NewsAsia, no article snippet or content details were included that would allow me to accurately summarize what is actually happening in this story.
To write a factual, in-depth summary as a neutral newswire editor, I would need the actual article text or snippets that explain who is involved, what France's "secret weapon" refers to, when this occurred, and other substantive details. The headline alone is insufficient to establish the core facts or provide context.
If you could provide the full article text or relevant snippets from the coverage, I would be happy to synthesize them into a clear, factual summary following your guidelines.
