US should live up to graft-fight promises

Corruption is a global phenomenon and a common enemy of mankind. And, as one country alone cannot completely wipe out the scourge, close international cooperation in anti-corruption has become a global consensus.

By strengthening their coordination and collaboration, China and the United States can send an unmistakable signal to the world that there is no haven in the world for corrupt officials and economic criminals of any background or nationality.

Following last year's successful "Fox Hunt", which targeted corrupt officials and suspected economic criminals who had fled the country, China launched an upgraded campaign code-named "Sky Net" in April, bringing more government departments on board, including the central bank and diplomatic services, as well as party organs and law enforcement agencies.
