Actually, they aren't. That is a modern myth promoted by the internet and Hollywood. Follow the link: http://www.pinyin.info/chinese/crisis.html

the word is made up of two characters, wei and ji (å±æœº). Strictly speaking, they are two different words. If you want to see them as one word with two syllables, then it is made up of two syllables of distinct meaning. So the statement is not accurate.

In Chinese, the word for "crisis" is not the same as the word for "opportunity"; however, the word for "crisis" is written with two Chinese characters, the first of which means "danger" and the second of which is part of the word for "opportunity." Crisis: å±æœº (å±æ©Ÿ) wéijÄ« Danger: å± wéi Opportunity: 机会 (機會) jÄ«huì I guarantee you this is correct.
