It's tiring to tell libs that its actually CPC instead of CCP.

  • CCP = Chinese China Party (???)
  • CPC = Chinese Party of China (correct)

I'm literally going to drop kick someone who gets it wrong!!!

Thoughts? Is it worthwhile to correct people on this?

    Chinese scholars usually write it as CCP.

    Source? Why would they use the wrong acronym for their own country's government?

      Because acronyms are a dumb anglo convention. Also 90% of the time in China people just call it the Communist Party.

      idk people like wang hui and li minqi write CCP. It's very common for chinese academics to use that acronym when publishing in english

      Why would they use the wrong acronym for their own country's government?

      CPC and CCP are both correct
