China's Huaxia Bank Co, part owned by Deutsche Bank AG, appointed Beijing Vice Mayor Zhai Hongxiang as chairwoman to replace Liu Haiyan, who's retiring.

Huaxia's board approved Liu's resignation and named Zhai, 61, a board member, the Beijing-based bank said in a statement to the Shanghai Stock Exchange today. Zhai was in charge of financial development in China's capital city during her four-year term, Bloomberg reported.

The government has been exerting control over Huaxia through its largest shareholder, state-owned steelmaker Shougang Group Corp. In a separate statement today, the bank agreed to extend a 1.19 billion yuan (US$156 million) one-year credit line to Shougang.

Shougang owns 14.3 percent of Huaxia Bank. Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest lender, and Sal. Oppenheim Jr & Cie own a joint 13.98 percent stake.
