Ignoring the bias in your chosen language, I do somewhat agree with your point. I would also say that "highly-valuable" is not what a country should strive for its companies to be. I would argue that the good of its citizens should be - and rather than $10b of company valuation, the citizens would profit more from that $10b going into labor regulations and social security.
