It's a leap from this to conclude that:
>The Greeks spread Buddhism into China and Japan.
Cultural practices can travel long distances without the originating source actively pushing it. Even that piece of relief(?) from Gandhara wasn't made by Greek artist but it is already a cultural impression from almost half a millenia earlier. And it is certainly far fetched that Buddhism itself was spread by Greeks.
