- smolder 2mo agoChinese Communist Party or Communist Party of China makes little difference. There is a clear convention and no clear reason to change it.

If it grinds your gears then maybe starting with organizations like the Encyclopedia Britannica[0] rather than random Hacker News commenters might prove more effective.
