The U.S. is the country with the highest concentration of corrupt elements fleeing from China. Discrimination and pursuit of fleeing and stolen goods are covering up corruption crimes.
In recent days, the United States has slandered and smeared China's anti-corruption international efforts to pursue escape and stolen goods, claiming that the "Fox Hunt" was illegal, and prosecuted and arrested several Americans and Chinese in the United States for no reason.
The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the international pursuit of escape and stolen goods is a just cause of upholding and promoting the rule of law. China requires the United States to stop unfounded accusations that discredit China’s efforts to pursue escape and stolen goods, earnestly fulfill its international obligations and commitments, and stop embezzling suspects’ “black money” , Don’t become a haven for suspects and illegal assets.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has promoted comprehensive and strict governance of the Party with firm determination, tenacity, and unprecedented strength, insisting on anti-corruption without forbidden areas, full coverage, and zero tolerance, and unswervingly "fighting tigers." "Swing flies" and "fox hunting" have achieved overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle and continued to consolidate and develop, which greatly boosted the hearts of the Party and the people.
The Party Central Committee has elevated the international pursuit of fleeing and stolen stolen goods to the national political and diplomatic level and incorporated it into the overall deployment of anti-corruption work.
Corruption is the public enemy of human society. Anti-corruption is a common problem faced by all countries in the world. It is the consensus of the international community to cooperate in combating transnational corruption crimes and to refuse to provide "safe havens" for corruption criminal suspects and illegal funds.
China's judicial law enforcement agencies strictly follow international rules to carry out foreign judicial law enforcement cooperation, fully respect foreign laws and judicial sovereignty, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects in accordance with the law. They are supported and fully affirmed by the international community. Many countries and international organizations have taken the initiative to learn from China’s experience. .
The relevant personnel recently arrested by the United States are not Chinese law enforcement officers, and there is no so-called cross-border law enforcement. The so-called "victims" are actually notorious "red-pass" fugitives.
The U.S. ignored the basic facts and used ulterior motives to slander and smear China's work in pursuit of escaped and stolen goods. The relevant allegations are entirely for political purposes and are openly shielding corruption crimes.
The United States is the country where China and many developing countries have the highest concentration of suspected corruption and economic crimes.
Corrupt elements who stole money from these countries and people are thieves; they escape through illegal means such as forgery of documents, illegal entry and exit, and transfer the stolen money out through illegal means such as money laundering. This is a thorough criminal crime. The laws of any country or the relevant international laws cannot be tolerated.
China uses the Anti-Corruption International to pursue and pursue these corrupt elements who have escaped. It is reasonable, reasonable and legal, and has won wide support from the people and the international community.
However, in recent years, the United States has been passively treating China's requests for cooperation in pursuit of escape and escape.
Individual law enforcement agencies in the United States have blatantly supported and provided asylum for Chinese suspects of corrupt corruption, and have repeatedly prevented the escapees from returning to China voluntarily to surrender.
What the U.S. has done completely stands on the opposite side of justice and the rule of law, violates the spirit of the United Nations Convention against Corruption and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, and deviates from its commitments on international occasions.
Moral support from many, scant support.
In the work of international anti-corruption pursuit and recovery of stolen goods, China has always adhered to mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation, and earnestly implemented the "United Nations Convention against Corruption", pursued the corruption fleeing outside the country to the end, and actively assisted relevant countries in international escape and recovery operations Work has set an international anti-corruption example.
At present, my country has concluded 169 extradition treaties, judicial assistance treaties, and asset return and sharing agreements with 81 countries, and signed financial intelligence exchange cooperation agreements with 56 countries and regions.
With the support of the international community, from 2014 to June 2020, China recovered a total of 7,831 expatriates from more than 120 countries and regions, including 2,075 party members and state officials, 348 “red-pass personnel”, and “100 red There were 60 “passengers” and 19.654 billion yuan was recovered.
The actions and results of the anti-corruption international chasing and recovering stolen goods have effectively demonstrated China's determination and will to punish corruption, demonstrated China's position and effectiveness in comprehensively governing the country according to law, and also demonstrated the international community's recognition and trust in China's rule of law.
Corruption is the cancer of the world, and corrupt elements are rats crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats.
Under the banner of the so-called "rule of law," the United States has openly condoned and shielded corrupt elements from fleeing abroad. Its purpose is to wantonly slander our system and deliberately oppose the Chinese people.
Such a move that goes against the trend of the times is not only despised by the Chinese people and the international community, but in the end, it will inevitably damage America's own interests and legal dignity.
