Of course, no one is going to call out a Democrat for misappropriating the Chinese language.

Asian languages in particular are full of homonyms. One Chinese character can have many meanings. It all depends on the context in which the character is used.

Wikipedia - Chinese word for "crisis"

The Chinese word for "crisis" ( simplified Chinese: ??; traditional Chinese: ??; pinyin: weiji, wéiji [1]) is, in Western popular culture, frequently but incorrectly said to be composed of two Chinese characters signifying "danger" (wei, ?) and "opportunity" (ji, ?; ?). The second character is a component of the Chinese word for "opportunity" (jihuì, ??; ??), but has multiple meanings, and in isolation means something more like "change point". The mistaken etymology became a trope after it was used by John F. Kennedy in his presidential campaign speeches and is widely repeated in business, education, politics and the press in the United States.
