Well, it depends. Using it like a publicly-accepted academic descriptor is fine, like Erika did
Now, if you use it like the word "exotic", it's a bit iffy, maybe orientalist-framed so to speak, and I think the People's Daily article you're using was prolly translated without this sensitivity in mind
