My view is that I have no idea what CCP is, but CPC doesn't seem to be doing anything exceptional with regards to historical revisionism. Perhaps you can try to articulate the point you're trying to make in more concrete terms.
I see. For a concrete example, does China/CPC censors or not Tiananmen Square events? Some context https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre#Censorship_in_China
Tiananmen square was an attempt at a color revolution by US https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/
There was a whole documentary about it in China https://web.archive.org/web/20200604205421/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDMXV1smwR0
Meanwhile, every government censors things. For example, most Canadians don't realize that the genocidal residential school system operated well into the ~~80s~~ 90s. Thousands of children have been found in mass graves, and there's hardly a mention of this in the media.
The last residential school didn't close until 1996 actually, because Canada is shit.
Right, my bad. I always forget just how long that shit went on here. It's just kind of surreal to realize the country you're living in was doing low key genocide just a couple of decades ago.
