The ccp certainly did.

Just a heads up, CCP has some racist connotations to it. The partyโ€™s official abbreviation is CPC. I literally only learned this a few months ago, so just letting you know.

I didnโ€™t know that. I used ccp, because it was in the wiki article you linked. Thatโ€™s good to know!

The Land Reform Movement, also known by the Chinese abbreviation Tว”gวŽi (ๅœŸๆ”น), was a mass movement led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Mao Zedong during the late phase of the Chinese Civil War after the Second Sino-Japanese War ended in 1945 and in the early Peopleโ€™s Republic of China,[1] which achieved land redistribution to the peasantry.

I know Iโ€™m late, but if youโ€™re curious, it does seem that one of the main contributors is a guy named SocDoneLeft, who is a American reformist socialist, that famously is also a little racist, so itโ€™s not really a surprise that he would use CCP instead of CPC. Always remember to check the sources, and the contributors for higly divisive things on Wikipedia. Especially considering that a third of Wikipedia is written by one guy, and he happens to be an anti-Communist border immigration agent with US security clearance. He is not the most unbiased guy in the world as you might imagine.

However I do get the confusion, since CCP is what the entire West calls it, but even if you disagree with them as a political organization, I still think just calling them what theyโ€™re actually called, and not a thing seeped in a lot of bad stuff, is better. I do appreciate that you are willing to use CPC when you were corrected though, that shows that you are not stuck in your ways as many are with this, so thanks for that.
