Yeah, it's pretty funny because Hong Kong bookstore owners find themselves kidnapped, locked up, interrogated and brain washed for months for selling books not to the liking of the CCCP:

- dmd 10y agoI very much doubt the CCCP was involved.
- 11thEarlOfMar 10y agoCCCP is a correct acronym for the Chinese Communist Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Committee_of_the_Communist_Party_of_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Committee_of_the_Commu... The abductee claims, and Britain states, that the Chinese government, née communist party, was responsible. The books that the communist party found objectionable, and which led to the booksellers' abductions, contained gossip about the personal lives of party members.
- dmd 10y agoInteresting. I did not know that 'CCCP' was overloaded. Thanks! I cannot find any source other than you who claims that, however - can you?
- 11thEarlOfMar 10y agoI know a lot of people who live in Hong Kong. I visit there periodically. In vernacular parlance, they frequently say 'CCCP' when referring to the Chinese government. Or they just say 'Beijing'. So, granted, it's hearsay, so I'm happy to start using a different and more acceptable epithet for the Chinese government. Any suggestions?
- dmd 10y agoWell, the party is CPC. The Central Committee is abbreviated CC in Wikipedia, though that seems unofficial.
