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?
Same reason why Republicans refer to the Democratic party as the Democrat party
It’s showing a lack of respect
Also by emphasizing the Chinese part, they’re playing into Orientalism
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.
I think this is 90% of the reason. To a sinophobic population, “Chinese” is a scary and derogatory term. “Of China” provokes less of a fear response because it’s more of a statement of fact.
TIL. It’s what I see people call it online and I’m not from the USA.
