> You seriously need me to explain to you why there ism assive propaganda in US against its peer competitor?

Yes, because you're not convincing anyone you're right. You're convincing people that you're kind of a dick. I have a large body of evidence claiming one thing, and the other side culminates in "just trust me bro". And because you're being such an asshole to both me and other commenters, I find it really hard to trust you, given I don't think you're operating in good faith.

> The very fact that you can't even spell the name of the party, which is Communist Party of China (CPC) correctly says volumes. It's like if I insisted on calling your country ASU.

No, it's not because my primary source of information is "western" explicitly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party which uses CCP, and because I'm on a predominantly "western" message board. I chose to use the more commonly understood initialism. Do you find ad hominem convincing yourself? Personally I find them either insulting, or distracting, and quite often distractions and red herrings are used to stifle conversations and the sharing of ideas. Which seems to be a theme across most of your comments here, you misunderstand a comment, and then bring up distractions from the topic quite a lot.

If providing actual sources and concrete examples to back my arguments isn't convincing anyone, that really shows how lost Americans are. I've literally linked you Harvard studies in the reply. You're the one doing the whole trust me bro thing here buddy.

Once you actually read your source, you'll see that the official name of the party is indeed CPC, the Communist Party of China.

> The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), officially the Communist Party of China (CPC), is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

Why ASU affiliated sources choose to call the party CCP I have no idea.

>Do you find ad hominem convincing yourself?

If you're going to use terms like ad hominem to make yourself sound smart then you should at least learn what they mean first.

Ad hominem, would be me saying that you are wrong because of poor quality of your character. However, I've actually provided factual sources to show why your argument is wrong here. Perhaps don't engage in debate on subjects you're utterly ignorant regarding and then you won't feel the need to feel insulted.

I understand your comment perfectly, and all you're doing here is using sophistry to distract from the fact that your comment was demonstrably asinine.
