Is communism/communist a controversial/rude term in China? (lemmygrad.ml)

I saw a video recently of a racist brit being rude to a group of Chinese people filming a video. One thing weird caught me though, the Chinese lady who made the video took offense to him calling the Chinese flag communist, in the video she says that communist is a controversial and rude term in China and this confused me as its literally ran by a communist party. So what gives? Is communist a negative term there?

Maybe? He didn't say flag of the party but I could understand her misinterpreting it as she didn't seem to have the best English (not that it was bad, but she hasn't had much opportunity to practice it and given the situation its reasonable for someone to interpret his statement in such a way).
