Definition
政治局 is the shortened form of 中央政治局 (Central Political Bureau), the top executive decision-making body within the Chinese Communist Party. It sits above the Central Committee and below the Politburo Standing Committee. The term appears frequently in political news and formal announcements but is rarely used as a common noun — it refers specifically to this institutional body, not a generic 'political bureau'.
