When it comes to political entities, typically the belief is that the group itself decides on its own name (like Kiev officially becoming Kyiv in English, to take a recent example). The CPC says that its name is the CPC. Western journos who want their readership to hate the Party call it the CCP. These are not equally valid bases for what to call something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sprinklebump@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago I did not know that was the case.
