Yao Gang (simplified Chinese: 姚刚; traditional Chinese: 姚剛; pinyin: Yáo Gāng; born May 1962) is a Chinese executive who served as one of four vice-chairmen at the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), China’s top securities regulator. He was investigated by the Communist Party of China's anti-graft agency in November 2015, after a stock market rout rocked global markets. Yao's downfall marked the widened government crackdown on corruption in the financial industry. Zhang Yujun (张育军), former assistant chairman of the CSRC, was placed under investigation in the end of 2015.
