- richrichardsson 2y agoThis shit winds me up no end. It feels almost like propaganda in itself, to evoke CCCP connotations. It would be like if I just decided to start unilaterally referring to a "Language to Markup Hyper-Text" (LMHT) instead of its correct name. tbf though, even the BBC can't get it right : https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg68vyz9lgo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg68vyz9lgo
- xanderlewis 2y agoExactly. I've never heard someone use 'CPC' before. It's quite obvious why the alternative isn't liked.
- catlikesshrimp 2y agoApparently, the official CPC is pro-stablishment, unsurprisingly, while the common CCP is anti-stablisment https://chinamediaproject.org/2023/03/30/ccp-or-cpc-a-china-watchers-rorschach/ https://chinamediaproject.org/2023/03/30/ccp-or-cpc-a-china-...
