Chinese Communist thugs with illegal forces have illegally occupied the land of China proper.

The so-called Chinese Communist Party is not a genuine political party but an organized crime society. (a legal political party must not have its own armed forces. The CCP actually have 5 million soldiers called 'People's Liberation Army' and actually own the US$1.5 trillion trade surplus with the US!!!)

No more confusion if we all do the right things:

Call it 'Communist China' instead of China.

Call them 'Communist Chinese' instead of Chinese.

Call it 'Communist Chinese government' instead of Chinese government.

Call them 'cadres' instead of officials.

Only Chinese who are anti-communists can be called Chinese; those who accept ChiCom as their legal rulers are 'communist Chinese'.
