The west media likes to use CCP instead of CPC?

CCP is a derogatory name the western media uses, like how I don't capitalize "zionist" or how I say ISISrael (to highlight that they are terrorists). Only when I do those things I admit that I am doing it out of petty derision where as the western media (and the boot licking libs) pretend that when they say CCP they are doing nothing wrong despite the multitude of times that the Communist Party of China has said "we are the CPC not the ccp"

In terms of imagery and associations, it doesn't hurt that it looks similar to the Cyrillic CCCP (USSR).
