One of the interesting things about Chinese history is that they expanded by getting conquered (multiple times), most recently with the Manchus who became the Qing dynasty. Given the time scales involved I don't think it is a deliberate strategy, but perhaps the reason it's worked in China does has something to do with their historical approach to war/strategy.
