Good example of how these people try to make China's government look like a weird alien invader who must be removed by constantly bleating "Chinese Communist Party" and "CCP" instead of just saying "China", "Beijing", or "the Chinese government" like they do with other countries.
The goal is to mentally uncouple the nation's government from the nation in the minds of the public, so that removing it looks like an intervention to remove a strange outside force which doesn't belong there instead of the obscenely intrusive imperialist agenda that it is.
Constantly repeating the word "Communist" evokes cold war fears from the past in older people, and saying "CCP" rather than the correct CPC (Communist Party of China) is designed to remind people of "CCCP", Russia's abbreviation for the USSR.
Clearly you despise the neocons a lot less than I do. Otherwise you wouldn't be helping them facilitate their propaganda agenda.
