Hiya,
I've just been appreciating this passionate series of posts. However,
it's noticeable that everyone describes the government of China as the
Chinese Communist Party or CCP. I've been told on more than one occasion
by Chinese students that this lazy mistake is very annoying for them.
FYI, the correct name is the Communist Party of China or CPC.
We should be highly critical of the CPC, but deliberately misnaming it
is - as Dmytri could point out - a sign of the instinctive Western
arrogance of those of us who contribute to the nettime list.
