Sinosure

SINOSURE, officially known as the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, is a state-owned policy-oriented insurance company established in 2001 to promote China’s foreign trade and investment. Its primary mission is to provide export credit insurance, helping Chinese exporters mitigate the risks of non-payment by foreign buyers and enabling them to expand into global markets with greater confidence.

SINOSURE offers a wide range of services including short-term and medium- to long-term export credit insurance, investment insurance, and bond and guarantee services. These products protect Chinese companies against commercial and political risks, such as buyer insolvency, currency restrictions, or government intervention. When a foreign buyer defaults, SINOSURE compensates the Chinese exporter and then pursues reimbursement from the overseas debtor, often with aggressive legal backing.

Beyond insurance, SINOSURE plays a strategic role in China’s global trade policy. It supports national initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, facilitates financing for large infrastructure projects, and partners with banks to offer credit enhancement for exporters. With its deep resources and government mandate, SINOSURE is a powerful tool for advancing China’s economic interests abroad—and a critical institution for companies navigating international trade with Chinese suppliers.
