Exclusive: China wealth fund, Commerce Ministry to get new heads - sources


BEIJING (Reuters) - China will likely appoint savvy international dealmakers to run its giant sovereign wealth fund and Commerce Ministry in a soft power push to soothe fears over a planned spending spree to boost Beijing's ownership of strategic global assets.

Securities regulator Guo Shuqing is tipped to take the helm at the $482 billion (321 billion pounds) state investment vehicle, China Investment Corp (CIC), and China's chief trade representative, Gao Hucheng, is seen running the Commerce Ministry, two sources with leadership ties told Reuters.
