Stock of the United States’ largest defence contractor Lockheed Martin was downgraded to Hold from Buy at Deutsche Bank by 14.5 percent, with a price target of $523

I did, looks like CCP is about half, but it didn’t show many of the the other ones. I was wondering if you thought it was higher than that, from what you were saying, it sounded like you thought it was like 90%.

I never gave a number, and it’s weird that you would assume something like that. Also, no idea what CCP is.

Yes you do.

I know what The Communist Party of China (CPC) is.

But you know that that’s the same thing.

I know one is the proper spelling of how the party calls itself and the other is an intentional misspelling western trolls use.

But you do have an idea what it is. I use it because that’s the only thing I’ve seen non tankie people refer to it as, and I definitely don’t want to follow the tankie’s lead. Is it a translation thing that someone swapped or something? Or did they change it at some point?

It never changed. The official and correct name of the party is has always been The Communist Party of China: CPC. I hae no idea why people in western mainstream insist on misspelling it. It’s like if I just arbitrarily decided to spell USA as SUA and then insisted that it’s the way it should be spelled despite the official spelling being very clear.

Looks like maybe CCP is the first letters of the Chinese words, but CPC is the translation the party prefers? But I’m getting a ton of conflicting state sources muddying the water. Some indications that CCP was seen negatively, so CPC was emphasized as a rebrand. Or that Chinese is a slur, so using China instead is more sensitive.

Anyway, CPC is what the tankies insist on, so I’ll keep using CCP.
