Q1: Why is the article titled "Chinese Communist Party" when the party's official name in English is the "Communist Party of China"?
A1: The name "Chinese Communist Party" is more commonly used by reliable sources in the English language. Consensus on the current title was reached on 23 July 2020 (see discussion). As of May 2024, there have been five failed proposals to revert this decision due to a lack of policy-based arguments (i.e. pertaining to WP:MOVE) on the part of the proposers.
Q2: Why are certain political ideologies and positions not included in the infobox?
A2: Per MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE, content in an article's infobox must appear and be reliably sourced in the article body. A fact should only be added to the infobox after it has first been added to the article body with reliable sources. Content that is in dispute between reliable sources is generally not included in infoboxes.
The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.
Chinese Communist Party was one of the Social sciences and society good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
The party itself refers to Marxism, although its policies are different, but it could be assumed that the party's line is simply left-wing, not far left.
The most important aspect of the analysis is it needs to start with how the balance of WP:RS describe the CPC's ideology. As a further matter, the left-right dichotomy arises from the Western political and historical context, and becomes less useful once removed from them. Our current ideology section of the infobox is much more precise and specific to the Chinese context. For further information, take look at the archives section of the talk page to see how this recurring discussion has played out in various ways over the years.

Would you consider "far-left" to be fitting for communist parties in the political context of Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, and North Korea? If not, should the descriptor be removed from the Wikipedia articles for those parties too? TheTajik (talk) 01:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Amigao! I try to use Google Translate typing Chinese words 中国共产党, it is translated to "Communist Party of China" in English. I edit it, but why does my edit has undone? Piggy Studio (talk) 02:23, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why does Andy Boreham send a X post (formerly Tweet) to call the "Communist Party of China", and English Wikipedia formerly used "Communist Party of China" but now is "Chinese Communist Party" this word?" Piggy Studio (talk) 02:26, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that Wikipedia should use the official name of the party, even if you disagree with its policies, instead of using an American colloquial or slang term as the official page title as well as in the article itself. This is standard procedure for any party in the world, so why not here? -- Alexey Topol (talk) 14:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m sympathetic but this discussion recurs frequently so it’s best to review the talk page. CCP-proponents place great weight on the common name policies. Others observe that CPC is also common and has the advantage of being as you say official. I also point to WP:GLOBAL as helpful in thinking about this topic. The page had the correct title quite a few years ago, and the trend has been that the consensus towards correcting the page title is improving over time. Nonetheless, we are probably not due for another discussion on this point for some time. JArthur1984 (talk) 14:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1) This isn't a nickname, colloquialism, or slang term. This is a translation. It simply uses a slightly different formulation than what the party does in its own materials. There is no substantive difference between "Chinese _____" and "_____ of China".
2) Standard procedure for any party in the world? Really? So explain why we call the Danish party Green Left instead of Socialist People's Party? Or why we call the Japanese party Free Education For All instead of Party to Realize Free Education? What is actually done for any party in the world is use the name that English speakers most often use for a party.
3) I think WP:USEENGLISH would be more relevant here.
4) "Correct" is POV. And since the article was moved and has not been moved back, would seem to be contrary to fact. The article is where it should be by WP's rules. Your idea of "correct" seems to be "whatever the party says". Sorry, but their opinion is irrelevant.
5) I have seen no such trend. What I have seen is an increasing number of Chinese citizens who seem to have a problem with the idea that WP is not subject to control by their government. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 14:58, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are of course welcomed to disagree on the basis of policy, but please refrain from remarks on the nationality of those you disagree with. It is non-productive and editors could quite reasonably take offense. JArthur1984 (talk) 15:07, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
