More anti-graft cooperation

As part of its broader anti-corruption campaign, China's accelerated efforts to hunt for corrupt officials who have fled overseas demonstrate its zero tolerance toward corruption.

It is reported that during US Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson's visit to China last week, an agreement was reached with China on simplifying procedures for repatriating corrupt Chinese officials hiding in the United States to China. This is viewed as a major breakthrough in China's efforts - called Fox Hunt.

Undoubtedly, the agreement not only marks substantial progress in China's bid to bring corrupt officials back home from abroad, it also means increased cooperation between China and the US in the crackdown on corruption. Given that the US has long been a preferred destination for corrupt Chinese officials seeking safe haven overseas, the agreement will facilitate China's efforts to hunt them down and bring them to justice.
