共克時艱

Idiom

 * 1)  to overcome the present difficulties in a spirit of unity

Usage notes
A phrase oft-used by Chinese state media, as if. It is ridiculed by some, since this phrase, when read in reverse, becomes 艱時克共, meaning “difficult times subdue the ”, “times are tough so we should all oppose the Communists”. The term can also be understood to mean "to achieve the tough times together" under the usual grammar.
