On a related tangent, if you don't mind - I'm trying to test my "tone detector" - it indicated sarcasm in your comment, as if the comment to which you were replying was not just wrong but dumb - how accurate was I?
It's not the comment that's dumb, it's the strategy. The Soviet Union used to dump tons of money into client states, and all that Russia has to show for it now is a naval base in Syria. China has hundreds of millions of peasants who are living in abject poverty. Doesn't it have better uses for that money?

If you were to look a little closer, you may discover the Chinese aren't executing an identical strategy. The world is extremely complex, using blunt comparisons like the above won't yield very accurate results. At the very least, you would probably benefit from having a more open mind.
