The Central Compilation and Translation Bureau (Chinese: [中共]中央编译局) was an organ under the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party established in 1953. Its primary responsibility, according to official sources, is to "research key Marxist works" and translate foreign language Marxist writings.[1]
Under the plan on deepening reform of Party and State Institutions, the Compilation and Translation Bureau was abolished, and the functions were merged with the Institute of Party History and Literature in March 2018.[2]
