However, the major problem for the insurance sector at the moment is that insurance supply falls far short of the growing demands. Moreover, the current role of the industry does not suit the requirements of the construction of a harmonious society. Today, the insurance industry is presented with a new development opportunity and is expected to take the lead in seeking rapid development while adhering to the direction of serving economic and social development and serving the great masses. It should follow the inevitable route of both government advocacy and policy support, and stick to the principles of “growth, profitability, credibility and compliance”. The insurance regulator should follow a track of legal, professional and information technologyaided regulation to advance the insurance industry rapidly and soundly.
