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?

That's what's struck me to ask this. It seems CCP is used only for negative comments about China, and I rarely see CPC used except in left spaces like here.
