It's name in English is the Communist Part of China, CPC not CCP.

Apparently, the official CPC is pro-stablishment, unsurprisingly, while the common CCP is anti-stablisment

This 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

Exactly. I've never heard someone use 'CPC' before. It's quite obvious why the alternative isn't liked.
