Does it matter? It’s a translation of a foreign Language, and hardly anyone uses the real names of countries. They are usually longer and in languages you don’t speak.

Yeah, it does matter. There is an official translation from the party and there’s a made up one that edgelords in the west use for some reason.

CCP: Chinese Communist Party

CPC: Communist Party of China

They are basically the same and mean exactly the same thing. I don’t really see the issue.

I don’t think it’s edgelords using it I think basically everyone does. It’s used because it’s used. You are making it sound like its an intentional psyop.

It’s like when people say Democrat Party instead of Democratic Party.

United States of America and American United States is basically the same thing, we should just ignore what USA calls itself and use AUS instead. The question is why westerners choose to use a different name than the official one chosen by the party. Maybe you can enlighten us what the reason for doing this is.
