主题:在双边市场准入协定的谈判中,欧盟要求北京在放宽对保险业的管制方面作进一步的让步。意义:从国际标准看,中国的保险业依然不发达。最近保险业的迅速增长是产业改革的必然结果,因为产业改革要求改变福利保障制度。保险业的增长潜力意味着政府决心培养本国的保险商,同时对外国保险商的进入采取小心谨慎的态度。 Topic: During the negotiations on the bilateral market access agreement, the EU demanded that Beijing make further concessions in relaxation of its control over the insurance industry. Significance: From an international standard, China’s insurance industry is still underdeveloped. The recent rapid growth of the insurance industry is an inevitable result of industrial reform, which requires changing the welfare guarantee system. The growth potential of the insurance industry means that the government is determined to nurture its own insurers while taking a cautious approach to the entry of foreign insurers.
