The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) (simplified Chinese: 中国证券监督管理委员会; traditional Chinese: 中國証券監督管理委員會; pinyin: Zhōngguó Zhèngquàn Jiāndū Guǎnlǐ Wěiyuánhuì; often abbreviated simplified Chinese: 中国证监会; traditional Chinese: 中國証監會; pinyin: Zhōngguó Zhèng Jiān Huì) is an institution of the State Council of the People's Republic of China (PRC), with ministry-level rank. It is the main securities regulator of the PRC.

China's Securities Law (passed December 1998, effective July 1, 1999), the nation's first comprehensive securities legislation, grants CSRC "authority to implement a centralized and unified regulation of the nationwide securities market in order to ensure their lawful operation." The CSRC oversees China's nationwide centralized securities supervisory system, with the power to regulate and supervise securities issuers, as well as to investigate, and impose penalties for, "illegal activities related to securities and futures." The CSRC is empowered to issue Opinions or Guideline Opinions, non-legally binding guidance for publicly-traded corporations. Its functions are similar to that of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States.

Salvador B. Castro (born October 25, 1933) is a Mexican-American educator and activist. He is most well known for his role in the 1968 East Los Angeles high school walkouts, a series of protests against unequal conditions in Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) schools. Although he has retired, he continues to lecture about his experiences and the importance of education, especially for Mexican Americans.

Castro was born in Los Angeles and began kindergarten at Belvedere Elementary School in East Los Angeles, but moved to Mexico when his father was forcibly repatriated during the "Repatriation Movement". There he attended a private elementary school in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. Returning to East L.A. while still in grade school, he experienced discrimination for speaking Spanish in the classroom. After graduating from Cathedral High School, a Catholic school, he was drafted into the army. He saw no combat action as hostilities with Korea ceased shortly after his entry, but was stationed at bases in Atlanta, Georgia and Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Always interested in higher education, he was particularly impressed by the campus of College of William and Mary while stationed in Virginia but he left the army to marry his high school sweetheart, and attended Los Angeles City College (LACC) before transferring to LA State, now known as California State University Los Angeles (CSULA) where he obtained his B.A. in social science.
