That's not what they're doing now. But they appear to be laying the groundwork for expansion into military bases. I read a few months ago that China was building facilities for their navy in one of the African nations, for example.

Oh, sure - they're not doing it in the Western Hemisphere, though.

But yes - China is using their positive economic and diplomatic relations with the Belt and Road countries to allow them to broaden their military footprint. The same way we have bases throughout Europe (and in Greenland, too). They're doing it by mutual cooperation with governments that are made more friendly by massive development assistance and shared economic interests, rather than trying to seize territory directly through threats and reprisals. Seems to be working well for them.
