を契機に is very formal. also see ついでに - much more common in
real speech (contributor: dc)
You are entirely correct. BTW, 中国に 行ったの を景気に should
be corrected to read: 中国に 行ったの を契機に. Japanese is
cursed with too many homonyms and heavily reliant on kanji, as you know.
However, Japanese also benefits from it. What other language would have
such simple and effective device to identify intercalary months as
西向く武士（にしむくさむらい）?
