Fugitive returns after 8 years

A man on China's list of 100 most-wanted corruption suspects abroad has given himself up and returned to China after eight years on the run in Canada, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Monday. It said the man, Li Shiqiao, had been "persuaded to return" and surrender. Li had been a manager at a real estate company in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. He fled to Canada in April 2009 and is suspected of corruption, the watchdog said.
