BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese insurance institutions are encouraged to invest in high-quality listed companies and listed companies launched by private enterprise as financial and strategic investor, said Ren Chunsheng, an official of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) at the recent China Wealth Management 50 Forum.
