It's name in English is the Communist Part of China, CPC not CCP.

This shit winds me up no end.

It feels almost like propaganda in itself, to evoke CCCP connotations.

It would be like if I just decided to start unilaterally referring to a "Language to Markup Hyper-Text" (LMHT) instead of its correct name.

tbf though, even the BBC can't get it right : https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg68vyz9lgo

Exactly. I've never heard someone use 'CPC' before. It's quite obvious why the alternative isn't liked.

Apparently, the official CPC is pro-stablishment, unsurprisingly, while the common CCP is anti-stablisment
