“Chinese Communist Party” centers their Chineseness over their communism as a means of othering them and upholding white supremacy. also connects to the “ChiCom” pseudo-slur popular during the height of the cold war
“Communist Party of [Country]” is a long-standing formulation that underscores the international and class-based nature of the worker’s movement
Which is funny that they even seized upon “CCCP” because it’s Cyrillic and the Latin equivalent would be “SSSR” so it’s just “spooky foreign thingy” all the way down.
