Hopefully, this century, we can shed some of the 'dominating' mindset that has led to technological exclusionism in the first place. Not that catching up to the state-of-the-art isn't warranted, but that progress will become pocketed once more if we keep falling for the same economic traps.

It's interesting how this comes up when the west is the one that is trying to catch up :)

Fair enough, but the point still stands: innovation of equal benefit compared to isolationism once more with a hefty share of underhanded copying, which will ultimately result in similar technical capabilities anyways.

While historically this has been difficult to achieve, when innovation cycles shift there is an opportunity to shift ingrained practices too.
