I'm primarily interested in the formation of the CCP, civil war, and history since, though I figure it's probably good to know what happened during the republic and Qing dynasty as well.

    I think that's reading too much into it on the implying the party is effectively the state (which also isn't exactly wrong). Like when I see Chinese Communist Party I just think communist party in China, same with British Labour Party. I don't really how swapping the words rhetorically implies anything relating to the state. At most it's using Chinese as a xenophobia inducing adjective on communism.
