Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to a media question about the recent decision regarding revisions to the regulations on foreign-invested insurance and banking firms authorized by the State Council.

The revisions, made public by the State Council on Oct. 15, eased access to the Chinese market for foreign-invested insurance and banking firms and will accelerate the opening-up process of the financial sector, Ma said.

The related opening-up measures also apply to Taiwan-invested financial institutions, he said.
