Listen up now: eavesdropping is on its way

Wiretapping and eavesdropping should be used in investigations of corruption, a prosecutor has said.

Zhu Xiaoqing, deputy procurator-general at the Supreme People's Procuratorate, said current laws about investigative methods are not elaborate enough.

"After legal reform and legislation, measures including monitoring and wiretapping will probably be introduced into investigation of such cases," he said during a seminar at Renmin University of China in Beijing.
