Reuters – China Investment Corp, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, will start investing in Japanese equity markets by March, a Japanese newspaper reported on Sunday.
The $200 billion (111 billion pounds) fund is screening Japanese banks at which it holds accounts to settle yen transactions, Japan’s Mainichi Shimbun daily reported.
The paper also said a Chinese government-affiliated think tank had conducted research on how Japanese companies would react if the fund were to build a 20 percent stake in them.
