China and the US are expected to closely work together on anti-corruption efforts following a high-level summit concluded on Thursday, experts said.

At the seventh round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington, DC, both sides agreed to continue working through the China-US Joint Liaison Group on Law Enforcement Cooperation's working group on anti-corruption as the principal mechanism for anti-corruption efforts, according to the outcomes of the strategic track.

Their collaboration focuses on "preventing official corruption, detecting embezzled public funds, denying a safe haven for suspects and their proceeds, assets recovery, and anti-transnational bribery."

According to the outcomes on anti-corruption released during the sixth round of the dialogue held in July 2014, both agreed to continue enhancing and promoting anti-corruption initiatives jointly under multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, G20 and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, which were also included in the latest outcomes.

"Unlike previous outcomes on anti-graft cooperation that only led to pledges, more concrete modes of cooperation and specific priorities have been clarified in this round of dialogue," Ren Jianming, an anti-corruption expert at Beihang University, told the Global Times, adding that the measures are more practical and effective.

The sharply contrast between the two is the result of the Chinese government's unwavering determination and tangible efforts to fight corruption, especially the collection of sufficient evidence to satisfy local statutes, he said.

A wanted list of 100 people released by Interpol's National Central Bureau in China in April, showed 40 may flee to the US, with which China has yet to sign a repatriation deal.
