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
TIL. It’s what I see people call it online and I’m not from the USA.
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.
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.
