I interpreted it as cultural appropriation and how primitive Klingon diplomacy was that they’d make the claim directly to the people they’d appropriated from.
Also might have meant that Shakespeare’s style is very similar to Klingon plays, Chang finding something to admire or respect in his enemy. He was motivated by glory and preserving his culture and respected and valued the Federation as an enemy even though he hated and feared what would become of his people if they made them allies.

We also know that the singular great writer in the Federation’s time is Beverly’s grandmother.
