Australia to push extradition approval

Australia has pledged to accelerate the approval of an extradition treaty with China as part of a joint declaration released after the first China-Australia high-level security dialogue on Saturday.

The countries have decided to enhance judicial cooperation and boost mutual understanding and address each other's concerns through the high-level security dialogue.

The United States and Australia have become the most popular destinations for Chinese corrupt officials to flee due to a lack of extradition treaties and legal differences.
