China Communications Insurance will operate with mainland partners. It would be classified as a “foreign” insurer, and could hold up to a 24.9 percent stake in the new venture. News reports indicate that the initial capitalization would be between 500 and 800 million yuan ($61.67 to $98.7 million).
