G20 partnerships help fight cross-border corruption

Chinese experts and professionals have worked closely with partners from G20 member countries to help combat cross-border corruption, according to a Beijing-based G20 anti-corruption research center.

Wang Xiumei, executive director of the research center, said it has worked together with colleagues from G20 members and adopted many valuable proposals that have aided Chinese judicial authorities in successfully tackling a dozen major cross-border corruption crimes and getting several fugitives repatriated to face justice.

The center was set up at Beijing Normal University in September 2016 as one of the achievements of the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. It has specialized in the analysis of pursuing fugitives and recovering illegal funds
