Cooperation with international agency helps nation bring back 'flies' and 'tigers' to justice

China's progress in anti-corruption leaves a very optimistic impression, said Martin Kreutner, dean and executive secretary of the International Anti-Corruption Academy.

"From an external perspective, China goes not only for the flies but also for the tigers. This is important so that the people see that it's also the big fish that are ultimately held accountable to the rule of law and the legal framework," Kreutner told China Daily.
