He reaffirmed the conditions required for foreign insurance companies to be able apply for insurance businesses in China as thirty-years of insurance business history, five billion U.S. dollars worth of assets, and two years of experience at setting up representatives in China.

The official also disclosed that the country is now formulating regulations on the supervision of foreign insurance companies, which is expected to be taken into effect soon.
