CCTB Vocabulary Lists

As part of the 2018 institutional reforms, the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau (CCTB; 中央编译局) was absorbed into the Central Party History and Literature Research Institute (中央党史和文献研究院). Previously, while the CCTB’s mission was “compiling, translating and researching classical Marxist works,” its responsibilities extended into almost all aspects of official CPC language. One of their key functions was to translate important Party, government, and official documents into foreign languages. When new terms arose, it was CCTB’s responsibility to choose the correct official term in a variety of foreign languages. AMS teamed with CCTB to provide easy-to-use files containing these vocabulary lists. While now outdated, they are still valuable resources for Chinese-language scholars looking to master a variety of important vocabulary words and phrases related to the CPC’s domestic and foreign policy.

We have provided the lists here in a downloadable link via Google Sheets. Those familiar with Anki and Pleco will find flashcard import guides below. If you have suggestions on how to make these lists even more user-friendly, let us know. For now the Google Sheets format is most easily accessible and adaptable to members’ individual study preferences. 好好学习、天天向上!
