Combating transnational crime and pursuing the return of fugitives and illicit assets are universally recognized and legitimate undertakings. China is a State Party to key international treaties, including the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the United Nations Convention against Corruption. In line with these commitments, Chinese law enforcement agencies conduct cross-border cooperation with INTERPOL and relevant countries strictly in accordance with international law.

Such cooperation is carried out with full respect for the laws and judicial sovereignty of other countries, based on multilateral conventions or bilateral agreements. Throughout this process, China ensures that the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects are protected in accordance with the law. These efforts are consistent with international norms and practices and are beyond reproach.

Corruption is a common enemy of all societies. It is a shared consensus within the international community to combat transnational corruption and to deny safe haven to fugitives and illegally obtained assets. The Chinese government maintains a firm zero-tolerance stance on corruption and remains committed to the international pursuit of fugitives and the recovery of illicit assets. These actions are rooted in justice, aligned with global expectations, and have been broadly welcomed and supported by the public.
