    I really dislike the CCP in most regards but the amount of transparency they force on gambling and gacha games like this is pretty good. Down with Diablo Immortal, that pay to win slot machine piece of shit of a game.

      Here’s a little tip for you: If you use “CCP” you’re basically identifying yourself as an ignoramus whose opinions on the topic can be safely ignored. After all if you can’t get the name of an institution correct, what are the odds that you got things that require genuine knowledge and nuance right?

        Oh I’m sorry, of course I meant 中國共產黨.

        You seem to have overlooked I actually praised the Communist Party of one of the Chinas in my comment.

            I wouldn’t call China’s stance towards Taiwan “respect”. Even so, I don’t have an opinion whether it’s part of China or not. Perhaps only Taiwanese people are qualified to say.

          Or you could use the proper English initialization from their official English name: Communist Party of China. But hey, why not remain an ignoramus and snark instead?

          I didn’t. It’s why I told you instead of rolling my eyes and ignoring you.

            So I bothered to look up 中國共產黨 to see if your claim that CPC is proper and CCP isn’t is true, and honestly it has no merit. Being pedantic about how best to translate it into English doesn’t make you smart or more knowledgeable. Internet propagandists like you for the Chinese government (oh, you’d probably insist only “government of China” is correct) tend to use these kinds of childish irrelevant arguments to deflect attention away from things that matter. I’ve seen similar stupid arguments in official Chinese state propaganda.

              The OFFICIAL NAME of the Party in English is “The Communist Party of China”.

              Not “the correct translation”. The OFFICIAL NAME.

              It follows, incidentally, the same pattern of naming in a whole bunch of other countries. The Communist Party of Canada, not The Canadian Communist Party. The Communist Party of Cuba, not The Cuban Communist Party. The Communist Party of Korea, not the Korean Communist Party. Etc. etc. etc.

              But hey, you don’t have to believe me. Just go to their official site: http://cpc.people.com.cn/. Then try http://ccp.people.com.cn/ and see where that gets you.

              Getting a name correct is the very most basic element that gets you credibility. If you can’t do that, anything else you say on the subject is highly suspect.

              Consider how much credibility I’d have if I babbled about Germany as “The German Federal Republic” (or, more extremely, translated it like you did and came up with “The Dutch’s Land’s Federal Republic”) or about the USA as “The American United States”. Extrapolate.
