Bit of a difference between a foreign startup you can't control getting very close to them and RR, a company they can control and who isn't reliant on them, doing a project for them.
This really isn't the gotcha you think it is, sorry.
RR literally gave the soviet union their realistic jet engine program because they wanted a few bucks.
The damage to the west was incalculable.
RR didn't, the UK govt did, and the Soviets copied it
