Features: China's Insurance Market Transformation Research, a work dedicated to studying the development of China's insurance market. It can also be regarded as an innovative piece in the theory of insurance market development. Prior to this, there were numerous works on insurance studies, but few were specifically focused on market development with unique insights, let alone specialized research on the transformation of China's insurance market, a topic of significant importance to the development of the insurance industry. Since the early 1980s, China's insurance market has achieved remarkable accomplishments over the past two decades, whether in terms of market size, the number of insurance market participants, insurance depth, or insurance density. Whether it is the development of the insurance intermediary market or the impact of insurance on the national economy and people's production and livelihood, there has been substantial progress. However, in recent years, China's insurance market has begun to exhibit some thought-provoking phenomena: on one hand, public reliance on insurance has been increasing, while on the other hand, dissatisfaction with the insurance industry has also grown; on one hand, demand for insurance among the public has been rising, while on the other hand, the growth rate of the insurance industry has been slowing down, with negative growth in certain fields and regions. It seems that the development of the insurance industry has encountered new challenges. We must acknowledge that the insurance industry is currently in its best period of development. China's entry into the World Trade Organization has injected new vitality into the national economy, and the high-speed, sustainable, and stable development of the national economy has also created rare opportunities for the growth of the insurance industry. The book is divided into seven major parts: Analysis of the Evolution of China's Insurance Market, Analysis of the Current Status and Problems of China's Insurance Industry, Analysis of the Causes of Difficulties Faced by China's Insurance Industry, Analysis of the Necessity and Feasibility of China's Insurance Market Transformation, Analysis of the Goals of China's Insurance Market Transformation, Analysis of the Methods of China's Insurance Market Transformation, and Analysis of the Approaches to China's Insurance Market Transformation. Through detailed data, precise analysis, and rigorous arguments, the book proposes the theory of China's insurance market transformation, identifies the root causes of the current problems faced by China's insurance market, elaborates in detail the necessity and feasibility of the transformation, and proposes the goals, methods, and approaches of market transformation, thereby establishing a systematic framework for the theory of insurance market transformation. The author believes that to solve the current problems faced by China's insurance market, it is not only necessary to address them through reform and development but more importantly, the insurance market must achieve a comprehensive transformation. China's insurance market must shift from an extensive operational model to a risk control technology-oriented market, and the insurance industry will undoubtedly usher in a new era of high-speed development. The proposal and establishment of this theory represent a major theoretical innovation and also provide a new approach for the further development of China's insurance market, fully reflecting the author's long-term rational thinking on China's insurance industry and his significant contributions to building a theoretical system of Chinese characteristics in insurance theory. We believe that the theory of China's insurance market transformation will have a positive impact on the healthy, sustainable, and stable development of China's insurance market.
