Grammar

effective with

Hi,

I am just wondering if the following sentence does make sence.

e.g. Encirclement policy of China can be "done effective with using Japan" as a second line of defence.

Honestly, I haven't seen "be effective with doing ..." grammar structure before.

Thanks in advance.
