Analogously speaking (comparing something with the same general features); China could be considered the Oriental (Eastern) version of the Occident's (Western) Spain. Spain at one time owned vast tracts of the Americas to include many of the islands surrounding the Americas (North, Central, and South Americas)...and although Spain owned (or colonized) those lands until 1898 (when Spain's empire was no more), Spain rarely exhibited the military prowess as did Britain or France.
Although China didn't colonize lands as did Spain, China remained large in territory thru-out it's history; but like Spain, China never really exhibited a military prowess like it's neighbors Russia and Japan. Therefore..."had China conducted any colonizing; it would most likely have lost them as Spain actually did."
