"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

CPC: Communist Party of China.
CCP: Chinese Communist Party
CPC is technically correct and follows the same style as every other communist party i.e. CPSU, CPI etc.
For some reason western libs decided to start calling it the CCP instead, my leading theory is that it was a redscare propaganda tactic to draw it closer to the CCCP in peoples minds during the propoganda torrent.
The end result in the end is that libs, ultras, fascists etc. tend to say CCP while ML's MLM's etc. say CPC.
Interesting. I always assumed it was because "Chinese Communist Party" rolls off the tongue better but thank you for letting me know. I'll try to avoid saying "CCP" from now on.
CPC is the offical english acronym of the party. However there wasn't a offcial one for a while, thus often the literal translation of the parties name from mandarin was used, with the corresponding acronym CCP.
