Why do libs refer to the Communist Party of China (CPC) as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)? (hexbear.net)

It's a weird nitpicky thing that makes no sense. If you can't even use the actual name for the CPC why should I believe a single word you say about China?

Are most libs just this ignorant or is there some sort of narrative/propaganda behind getting the name wrong?

I mean, it's not technically wrong, it just shows the layman nature or antagonistic nature of the person using it

First, it's just that it sort of metaphysically attributes "national chauvinism" to the party's name, by emphasizing "Chinese"

Second, CCP looks like the Cyrillic for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
