Not sure if the irony is intended here. The entire point is that the Chinese people aren't a monolith, hence CCP != The Chinese people.
This will also hold for whether they believe us - in that too, Chinese people won't be a monolith. Plenty of those who aren't the biggest fans of the CCP will, as they understand where we're coming from better than anyone.
