In September 2023, officials from Shenzhen's financial regulatory bureau stated that Evergrande Life Insurance was severely insolvent. In accordance with the Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China and relevant regulatory provisions, regulatory authorities had implemented close supervision and conducted risk disposal. The company's operations remained stable at that time. Haigang Life Insurance Co., Ltd., jointly established by China Insurance Security Fund Co., Ltd., state-owned enterprises from Guangdong Province, Shenzhen City, and Chongqing City, along with Taiping Life Insurance Co., Ltd., had commenced operations and legally acquired Evergrande Life Insurance's assets and liabilities, taking over institutional networks and personnel to fully fulfill insurance contract obligations and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of insurance consumers and all relevant parties.
