There is a question that has been bothering me:

Why you guys always calling the Party 'CCP' while its official name is 'CPC' What's the reason and intention behind this

View on HN

“CCP” is the direct translation of the party’s name in China. But apparently this discussion goes all the way back to the 40s.

The CCP gave itself the name CCP up until after the civil war when it tried to change it to CPC to distance itself from anything written about the CCP and attempt to deny any association.

CCP/CPC is the same thing, same party, same history.
