Of the 40 "hundred red-passers" who have not yet been brought to justice, 20 are still hiding in the United States
The U.S. has become a haven for corruption
In recent days, the United States has ignored basic facts, slandered and discredited China's anti-corruption international pursuit of justice for fleeing and recovering stolen goods, falsely claiming that the "Fox Hunt" is illegal, and prosecuted and arrested several Americans and Chinese in the United States without reason.
These usual tactics not only expose the "greed for profit" of the United States to become a haven for corrupt elements and illegal funds, but also reveal its political goals with ulterior motives.
The United States is the country where China has the highest concentration of corruption and economic crime suspects.
In April 2015, China announced a list of "100 Hongtong personnel", and 40 of the 100 people fled to the United States.
Up to now, among the 40 "hundred red-pass personnel" who have not been brought to justice, there are still 20 people including Xu Jin, Liu Fang, Liu Changming, and Shi Yang hiding in the United States.
The United States is also a paradise where corrupt elements from other developing countries abscond and hide their wealth.
According to data from the African Union, Africa has lost more than 50 billion U.S. dollars each year due to illegal financial flows in recent years. In the past 50 years, a total of 1 trillion U.S. dollars has been lost due to corruption. Many of the stolen money eventually went to the United States.
What is striking is that in the face of many foreign corrupt officials and the constant influx of huge amounts of corrupt assets, the United States not only does not actively combat corruption crimes, but provides a safe haven for corrupt elements fleeing abroad.
In recent years, the U.S. has ignored the China-U.S. criminal judicial assistance agreement signed in 2000, undermined the long-standing cooperative relationship, and has frequently frustrated it. It has been passively treating China’s requests for cooperation in pursuit of escape and escape. Some law enforcement agencies have even brazenly supported fugitives , Provide asylum, and repeatedly prevented the escaped from returning to China to surrender.
This slander and smear of China's "Fox Hunting" is to openly support the corrupt elements. His actions stand on the opposite side of justice and the rule of law, and violate the United Nations Convention against Corruption and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. The spirit also deviates from the public commitments made by the US on international occasions.
The reason why the United States provides a safe haven for corrupt elements in many countries is not only because it seeks profit, but also because of political prejudice.
Corrupt elements often carry a large amount of stolen money when they flee. These stolen money is a "source of nutrition" for the escaped corrupt elements, and a piece of "fat" for the United States.
After some corrupt elements arrived in the United States, they used the stolen money to buy luxury houses, luxury cars, and high-end goods.
The corrupt elements who carried large amounts of stolen money were not only not hit, but were sheltered by the United States.
Corruption is the public enemy of human society. It is a consensus reached by the international community to cooperate in combating transnational corruption crimes and to refuse to provide "safe havens" for corruption criminal suspects and illegal funds.
Since China fully launched the work of tracing and recovering stolen goods, as of June 2020, a total of 7,831 people from more than 120 countries and regions have been recovered, and 19.654 billion yuan has been recovered.
These data strongly confirm that China's anti-corruption international pursuit of fugitives and stolen goods is a just cause, and it has been widely recognized and supported by the international community.
Covering up corruption crimes will become the target of public criticism.
In an environment where countries all over the world are jointly responding to the challenges of corruption, it is the duty of any country to fulfill international treaty obligations and refuse to be a haven for corruption crimes.
While the United States often uses corruption in other countries to "speak up", it also arbitrarily accepts corrupt elements from abroad. Its double standards are clear at a glance and the political purpose behind it is obvious.
If the United States continues to persevere in its obsession and moves against the trend of the times, it will meet resistance and strong opposition from all countries in the world.
