My mind just did the same association even though I knew the meaning.
If you remember JRPG has a J for Japan, it’s easy for your brain to go with C stands for Chinese, even if that doesn’t make sense when you really think about it.
Also, side note, just chill out with the conspiracy theories. And actually give the guy the proper explanation of what the term stands for like the comment next to yours.
I think it is somewhat logical as there is literally an entire massive genre of “Japanese RPG.”
There absolutely is something suggesting that: precedent. Though it could be Czech RPGs, Columbian RPGs, Cuban RPGs, or Canadian RPGs. Though Chinese RPGs would be more likely given the game Dev industry there and population.
Also the fact that outside of the tabletop community, nobody calls video game RPGs CRPGs.
There are better ways of asking what something stands for if you don’t know.
Also, side note, it’s very interesting how quickly your mind jumped to Chinese when nothing here is suggesting thst even.

Given that JRPG is “Japanese RPG” it’s not too much of a stretch to assume CRPG would be Chinese RPG.
