Summary
Das Buch beschäftigt sich eingehend mit den wesentlichen Aspekten des chinesischen Versicherungsaufsichtssystems, einschließlich der Festlegung von Regeln, der aufsichtsrechtlichen Ziele, des aufsichtsrechtlichen Überprüfungsprozesses, der Aufsichtsmaßnahmen, der aufsichtsrechtlichen Transparenz und der öffentlichen Konsultation.
Das Ziel der Arbeit besteht darin, die Schwachstellen zu identifizieren, die dem chinesischen Versicherungsaufsichtsmodell und den Aufsichtsmechanismen innewohnen, und nach geeigneten Wegen zur Behebung dieser Schwachstellen zu suchen. Die Analyse erfolgt durch einen Vergleich mit den regulatorischen und aufsichtsrechtlichen Ansätzen im Rahmen der EU-Richtlinie Solvabilität II, die als Anhaltspunkt dienen, um die Ermittlung der vorgenannten Schwachstellen und der entsprechenden Resolutionen zu erleichtern.
Dr. Wenyu Qian, LL.M., ist spezialisiert auf Versicherungs- und Bankrecht. Seit Jahren forscht er an den Universitäten in Frankfurt und Shanghai im Bereich des Finanzrechts. Sein aktuelles Forschungsinteresse gilt der Versicherungsregulierung.
