Double standards in anti-corruption efforts must be ended: anti-corruption watchdog

(People's Daily Online)    13:19, June 14, 2016

As China increases its efforts in fugitive repatriation, asset recovery and other anti-corruption campaigns, some countries have been providing shelter for those corrupted or instead take China’s efforts as an excuse to defame the country, The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), China’s anti-corruption watchdog, said Sunday in an article published on its website.

Last year, the watchdog released a detailed list of 100 fugitives it wants to extradite back to China as part of its “Sky Net” anti-graft operation.

Also, it put forward a number of initiatives regarding global cooperation in anti-corruption, and it called for a new anti-graft order and urged other countries not to provide shelter for such corrupted individuals.

China's efforts on corrupt official hunt-downs and ill-gotten gains recoveries have won a bigger voice and initiative on the international stage, CCDI added in the article.

But the watchdog pointed out that at the same time some countries have taken on double standards in their conduct with China. On the one hand they defamed China by labeling those fleeing officials as evidence of the so called “stain” of the political system, but on the other hand, provided shelters for them with the excuse of human rights.

“The double standards must be ended,” the CCDI said, vowing that those corrupted must be brought to justice wherever they go.

“The anti-corruption efforts should not be politicized”, the article added. The CCDI also called for more understanding on laws and regulations of other countries and improvement of domestic mechanisms.

The international communication platform should also be used to declare China’s determination to fight against corruption, the watchdog said at last.
