The China Insurance Regulatory Commission approved Manulife-Sinochem Life Insurance Co. Ltd.'s bid to open a sales office in Shenzhen, giving the company a foothold in one of the fastest-growing economic areas in China. "We plan to be operational in Shenzhen, China's wealthiest city by almost every measure, in the first quarter of 2006," Marc Sterling, chairman of Manulife-Sinochem, said in a statement.
