It's an updated version of “Kites Rise Against and Not With the Wind. Even a Head Wind Is Better than None” that was not coined by Winston Churchill nor is a Chinese Proverb. The Quote Investigator has a long list of various versions, starting in the 1824 New England Farmer periodical, Boston, Massachusetts poem titled New Year’s Address of the New England Farmer’s Boy To His Patrons:
