In the name of national security, China is restricting export of certain drones and computers:
From August 15, manufacturers of certain powerful drones and computers will have to give technical details to the authorities to obtain a licence prior to export, Xinhua news agency says.
[...] In the first five months of 2015, China exported some 160,000 civilian drones, a jump of 70 per cent year-on-year, worth more than $120 million, the official China Daily newspaper reported in July.
[...] The tightening of regulations comes two weeks after an incident in disputed Kashmir in which the Pakistani army claimed to have shot down an Indian "spy drone", reportedly Chinese-made.
China is also likely tightening controls on exports of powerful computers as it looks to maintain its edge in the global supercomputer battle long dominated by US-Japanese rivalry.
Starting August 15th, drone and supercomputer manufacturers will have to present technical details to the authorities in order to get a license to export.

And yet, it is exactly a common government that defines a country as a geopolitical entity.
So, if you want the best for private initiative, don't speak about countries, much less "technological dominant countries".
