Since the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, political environment faced by Chinese insurance industry is more and more stable and harmonious. And the issuance of “State Council’s Many Opinions on Development and Reform of the Insurance Industry” on June 15, 2006 actually opened up a new chapter for the industry. The Chinese insurance industry is in its golden development period. We should take advantage of this opportunity, come out with effective and efficient measures at our earliest, increase people’s risk consciousness, strengthen insurance companies’ competition ability and vitality, and further open up the insurance market, so as to realize the longstride growth of China’s insurance industry.
