Alright, great comment. I stand corrected. In my mind it will still always be a transliteration difference because I was exposed to the Chinese term first, but I think you’re onto something about how Westerners interpret ‘Chinese’ vs ‘of China’. I will shift to using CPC from now on.
This makes me think, are propagandized western liberals more racist or more afraid of commies?
¿Por qué no los dos?
Exactly. Anti-communism, racism, and general xenophobia are often conflated, just as capitalism and white christian nationalism.
I think anti-communism is reasonably seen as a specific version or flavor of orientalism that has specific bourgeoisie goals.
