Overseas fugitive hunt streamlined

China and the United States say they will cooperate to track down and repatriate Chinese fugitives who are at large in the US and who are responsible sending billions of yuan there illegally.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson visited Beijing on Thursday and Friday to discuss issues of shared concern with high-ranking officials, including the ministers of public security, cyberspace and customs.

The result of last week's visit was fruitful, according to a statement from the Ministry of Public Security. China and the US will work closely on tracking down and repatriating Chinese fugitives by enhancing intelligence sharing, strengthening judicial cooperation and exchanging updates of important cases regularly, the statement said.
