While I am all for academic acknowledgement and intellectual acknowledgement. Does this approach, of controlling knowledge., giving a country .. not go against the very idea of progress?

Not at all. Progress is just a word describing an event in a very general sense. Ideas cannot exists without the human agency to propagate it and when ideas are spread, progress will be made. The limitations we placed on the extent of progress, such as patents or licensing, are companions to capitalism and are of recent development in human history.

Who discovered fermentation? Practically every culture and they are usually separated by time and geography which are limitations on how to make better booze. Is unleavened bread unique to the ME? Absolutely not. In one method or another, in either accident or design, this type of bread will be found or invented or discovered. And whenever it was invented/discovered, a little bit of progress in bread making is made.

When it comes to technology as we know it today, take gunpowder for example, if one culture know that a mixture of earthly elements can create something that go 'ka-boom', they do not need to have instructions from the origin culture to create their own formulation of gunpowder. Their own people will explore their own country to find the matching elements. No guarantees that they will succeed but the lack of guarantees have never deterred us before. How many countries whose own citizens tried to fly? Did the Wright Brothers went to Europe to study aeronautics?

Wright brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capitalizing on the national bicycle craze (spurred by the invention of the safety bicycle and its substantial advantages over the penny-farthing design), the brothers opened a repair and sales shop in 1892 (the Wright Cycle Exchange, later the Wright Cycle Company) and began manufacturing their own brand[22] in 1896. They used this endeavor to fund their growing interest in flight. In the early or mid-1890s they saw newspaper or magazine articles and probably photographs of the dramatic glides by Otto Lilienthal in Germany. 1896 brought three important aeronautical events. In May, Smithsonian Institution Secretary Samuel Langley successfully flew an unmanned steam-powered model aircraft. In mid-year, Chicago engineer and aviation authority Octave Chanute brought together several men who tested various types of gliders over the sand dunes along the shore of Lake Michigan. In August, Lilienthal was killed in the plunge of his glider.[23] These events lodged in the consciousness of the brothers. In May 1899 Wilbur wrote a letter[24] to the Smithsonian Institution requesting information and publications about aeronautics.[25] Drawing on the work of Sir George Cayley, Chanute, Lilienthal, Leonardo da Vinci, and Langley, they began their mechanical aeronautical experimentation that year.

According to history -- nope. They knew of other failed attempts, or lack of guarantees, then they studied on their own aeronautics and explored with their own ways on why others failed. It was not possible for them to steal anything from anyone simply because no one ever succeeded and those failures were public information.

The reason we sent our own countrymen, be it Chinese or Pakistanis, to other countries to learn is simply because of impatience.

On military applications though, it seems odd to expect that a country should not try to use whatever means necessary to boost its defense considering that it like all other countries holds its survival dear.

Sure, they can acquire technology through any means they deemed justified out of national defense. But that does not absolve them of theft, if thievery is what they used.

There is a great difference between going to school, learn the basics, and return home to use what you know to create from your own country's natural resources X , versus stealing a complete component X from someone else and go home with it. People have a natural distaste for the latter even if they understand the motivation for it.

Which is why despite knowing the design of a high performance turbofan, the Chinese have not been able to replicate the metallurgical process for the blades as they could not get their hands on that.
