No letup in fight against corruption

China will continue its hunt for corrupt officials who flee overseas and their illegal assets, including the establishment of international cooperation mechanisms, the top anti-graft body pledged on Saturday.

In an article published on the website of the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, an unnamed official from its International Cooperation Bureau said the agency will not cease in its pursuit of fugitives in hiding around the globe.

The agency said it would send a strong signal to the world that "no matter where they escape to, they cannot escape the law and will be definitely be brought to justice".
