How to bind a key-chord to the `C-c` prefix?

Question

I am using the package key-chord. This package allows me to hit x x quickly instead of hitting M-x:

(key-chord-define-global "xx" 'execute-extended-command)

And here is another way to to set a key-chord (code below is equivalent to the above):

(global-set-key (kbd "<key-chord> x x") 'counsel-M-x)

How can I set a key-chord for the C-c prefix?

This question and this post are not the same as mine as he is creating his own prefix, whereas a I just want to bind <key-chord> c c to C-c

Answer 1

I believe I found the solution:

(key-chord-define-global "cc" 'null)
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<key-chord> cc")  (kbd "C-c"))

Answer 2

A slightly modified solution from @WickedJargon when two different characters are used as key-chords:

(key-chord-define-global "qd" 'null)
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<key-chord> qd")  (kbd "C-c"))
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<key-chord> dq")  (kbd "C-c"))

where qd and dq mapped to C-c respectively.
