I largely agree, because China is in a position where it's advantageous for them to build good relations and strong allies, amongst other things. My point is that even if you think they are equivalent, having both means that small, poor countries can get a better deal, and therefore thah having that premise leads to a different perspective.
You're right, I guess in the end they don't really believe they're both the same. Or maybe they assume "poor countries" are too dumb to know what's best for them.
