The CPC is incorrectly referred to as "Chinese Communist Party" (CCP) in Western media, despite the CPC declaring "Communist Party of China" to be the official English translation of its native name. This may be used in order to promote Sinophobia, as well as for propaganda against China (due to the similarity of the acronym CCP to the Cyrillic acronym for the Soviet Union, which is СССР, thus evoking memories of the Red Scare).

Unrelated but this comment brought a t-shirt I saw someone using a couple months ago. It's had the CCCP acronym and the hammer and cutting thing, and I tough nice, then I saw that in the shoulders and arms had three white bands and was like no way and then I saw the Adidas logo, wtf?
