Fair enough- however this analysis specifically addresses

“Critical technologies [which] can be defined as current and emerging technologies with the capacity to significantly enhance, or pose risk to, a country’s national interests, including a nation’s economic prosperity, social cohesion, and national security”

So a level of consideration for the geopolitical implications seems warranted - after all, I’m not sure anyone really invests in hypersonic nuclear capable ballistic technology for the general advancement of humanity.

The benefits of a multi polar world are another topic of course.
