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?

ccp is a direct translation.

中国人 = "Chinese Person," therefore 中国共产党 = "Chinese Communist Party."

Diaspora exists. Just for that reason alone, CCP wouldn't be accurate enough.
