No problem. It just happens to be a contentious point when in English, because the use of the incorrect acronym “CCP” is used to emphasize ethnicity(Chinese) over nationality(of China), and separates the party from other national communist parties, which have all used the format “Communist Party of _____” since the Comintern. It’s an intentional distortion by English speaking media to control the narrative around China, and unfortunately is very effective and prevalent.
