The Chinese Skating Association (CSA) (simplified Chinese: 中国滑冰协会; traditional Chinese: 中國滑冰協會; pinyin: Zhōngguó Huábīng Xiéhuì) was founded in 1956. It was the second Asian country to join the International Skating Union (ISU).[1]

It hosts international and manages domestic short track speed skating and speed skating competitions. Meanwhile, the Chinese Figure Skating Association (CFSA) (simplified Chinese: 中国花样滑冰协会; traditional Chinese: 中國花式滑冰協會; pinyin: Zhōngguó Huāyàng Huábīng Xiéhuì), formed in 2018, hosts the Cup of China and manages a series of domestic competitions including the annual Chinese Figure Skating Championships.
