This happened 300 years ago. If you’re just noticing now that’s on you.

And honestly it makes perfectly good sense. since in the time frame it’s most commonly used most of the world had nothing to do with Christianity, or even Judaism. Talking about Chinese pre-colonial history in terms of when Christ was born makes no sense at all.

Big fat lie, it was used sparingly, common usage including academically/government documents still used BC and AD including States/Federal Congress that ratified our Constitution. Who gives a crap about appeasing China or whoever?
This all started to be an issue when Cultural Marxists/jews pushed their ideology during the "PC" onslaught. BCE and CE is such an academic farce that even atheist I worked with referred to the designation as being 'Before Christian Era' and 'Christian Era'. Simps, talmudic jews, and wanna-be Bolsheviks supported the change. A pathetic attempt to whitewash history and Christianity.
