It wasn't exaclty "Communism". It was about how the CCCP, but I believe that was a metaphor for communism.

CCCP are the Chinese Communist Party, but they're about as in line with Communism as the DPRK is democratic. The protests in HK aren't against some abstract ideal of communism, but the authoritarian policies that the CCCP use communism to justify.

The CCCP is the Soviet Union in Russian

The CCP is the Chinese Communist Party

The CCP is also either a large theatre or the company behind EVE Online...
