Abbreviation

CCP (common) CPC (official)

Did you know the US's actual abbreviation is "USA"? Yet nobody says that saying "US" means you know nothing about the USA.

    CCP is the unofficial term because it emphasizes them being Chinese. CPC is the official term because it emphasizes them being an internationalist communist party, happening to be in China.
