Tips

history
A loaded political term. Heavily associated with Cold War-era discourse: U.S.-led containment policies, the Kuomintang on Taiwan (反共, 'oppose communism, resist Russia'), and 1950s 反共 (fǎngòng jiùguó, 'anti-communist national salvation') slogans.
register
(anti-) + (short for 共产 gòngchǎn or 共产党 gòngchǎndǎng, 'Communist Party'). The same X pattern produces (fǎnměi, anti-American), (fǎnrì, anti-Japanese), (fǎnzhàn, antiwar).
