Technology dovetails with investigative nous

Yang Kai is always impressed by the passion shown by his younger colleagues and their understanding of how new technology can assist in the fight against corruption.

Even though he has been an anti-graft investigator for more than 20 years, Yang believes that it's important to learn from his younger colleagues, because "corruption has changed and multiplied in tandem with the rapid development of the country". He said the growth of the internet offers new avenues for corruption, and he looks to his junior colleagues to use their skills to solve cases.

"I find it difficult to use technology to collect evidence. So, to learn these techniques I encourage my younger colleagues to participate in educational programs - after all, they have a better understanding of the technology. Later, we have interactive sessions where the senior members of the team learn from the younger officers," said the 46-year-old from the procuratorate in Beijing's Dongcheng district.
