Group 2: Actions Taken by Financial Institutions - Since April 29, 2023, several major state-owned banks, joint-stock banks, and city commercial banks have announced the abolition or non-establishment of their supervisory boards, including the five major state-owned banks: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Bank of Communications [4][5]. - In the securities sector, the first company to abolish its supervisory board was Caixin Securities on March 3, 2023, followed by other firms like Guoyuan Securities and Huaxin Securities [5]. - Foreign insurance companies have also been quick to act, with Japan Property Insurance (China) Co., Ltd. announcing the abolition of its supervisory positions on April 20, 2023 [5].
