There does seem to be something like that going on, but I can't figure it out yet. The bit that's making my brain hurt is that individual kanji are read as Japanese words, but if you put two or more together to make a new word, you use the "Chinese reading". I'm not sure if these are actually Chinese words or if it's just a figure of speech. Ouch, brain leaking out of ears.
