CCP is the common one even though not the official, either use is fine and understandable (as you've understood it clearly).

What do you mean? I'm talking about the CCP funding projects to increase yield for their fabs, not buying GPUs from NVidia...

It’s CPC because the official name of the party is Communist Party, China, a hold over to when China was more aligned with the soviets before Stalin died. As long as they subsidize GPUs for domestic use, it makes sense. But we won’t see them for export until their yields are good enough to make them profitable. They will also have a hard time scaling with bad yields, leading to a continued need for GPU imports to meet demand.
