China has appointed Liu Haoling, president of its sovereign wealth fund, as a vice chairman of its securities regulator, filling a post left vacant after the former vice chairman was placed under investigation.

Liu, 54, was also named to the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s Communist Party committee, according to an official notice issued Friday. 

The position has been open since May 2025, when Vice Chairman Wang Jianjun was removed from his post amid a corruption investigation. Prosecutors took over Wang’s bribery case this year.
