then the direct translation would be instead "Communist Party of the Chinese People"
the reason for thw switch was so the US could use its anti USSR (CCCP) propoganda, when the two exest together all you need to know is both bad
i don't understand what you mean, in english the order of the characters works fine, why would a 'direct' translation move them around if not to agree with english language rules?
Chinese Peoples Comunust Party would probably be more direct you are right, my bad,
oh, i think you are misunderstanding. the scond phrase doesn't contain "people." 中国=China，人=person，共产党=communist party. this pattern is pretty consistent, i.e. "中国朋友" means Chinese friends
