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?

Word order yes

But 中国共产党 translates literally as "China Communist Party"

It identifies the nation of China and not the Chinese people

If i wanted to translate Chinese Communist Party i would use something like 中华共产党 instead

Its a subtle difference but Communist Party of China imparts the party a certain level of national sovereignty in my opinion
