Confession: Ex-official calls hiding in US a 'dead end'

The country's top anti-graft agency published a confession on Sunday by a former official who returned from the United States after more than 2 1/2 years in hiding.

The agency pledged that there would be no letup in hunting down others overseas.

The 3,400-word confession by Wang Guoqiang, former Party chief in Fengcheng, Liaoning province, was published on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, together with a commentary expressing the commission's determination to catch corrupt officials who have left the country.
