Confusion over insurance opening in US-China deal


BEIJING: A trade pact opening up China’s insurance sector to US firms has caused confusion among lawyers in the Asian nation.

China pledged to remove the foreign-equity cap for the life, pension and health-coverage sectors no later than April 1, according to the text of a broad trade agreement announced Wednesday. However, lawyers in China say they thought the limit had already been lifted on Jan 1.
