Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPCPD) (中共中央宣传部)
An internal division of the Communist Party of China in charge of ideology-related work and China's information dissemination system.
The CPCPD's major responsibilities include:

- Leading the state broadcaster (that is, the new China Central Radio and Television (中央广播电视总台) (CCRTV)).
The CPCPD, when exercising functions of publication (copyright), news and film administration, is externally known as one of the following respectively:
- The National Copyright Administration (NCA).
- The State Administration of Press and Publications (SAPP).
- The National Film Bureau (NFB) (国家电影局).
