Should Wuhan virus be renamed CCP virus?

Should Wuhan virus and SARS-CoV-2 names of the virus responsible for COVID-19 (covid, in short) be renamed "CCP virus" to reflect the origin of the virus in Communist China?

"CCP virus" is first coined by New Tang Dynasty Television in place of "Chinese virus", "Wuhan virus" and "Wuhan pneumonia". 

Josh Rogin, a columnist of The Washington Post, wrote in the article Don't blame 'China' for the coronavirus - blame the Chinese Communist Party,  "Let's stop saying 'Chinese virus' - not because everyone who uses it is racist, but because it needlessly plays into the Chinese Communist Party's attempts to divide us and deflect our attention from their bad actions. Let's just call it the 'CCP virus'."

China Communist Party media initially named the SARS-like coronavirus as "Wuhan virus" in Chinese before the disease is renamed novel coronavirus, novel coronavirus pneumonia and subsequently Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the virus SARS-CoV-2 by World Health Organization (WHO).
