If Western countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia have long been considered a safe haven by China's fugitive corrupt officials, the alliance China and the United States have formed against corruption should send chills down their spines.

Following "Operation Fox Hunt" in 2014, in which 680 people suspected of economic crimes were caught in 69 countries in six months, China has given the US a priority list of suspected criminals, most of whom are believed to be corrupt officials, thought to be at large in the US.

Some Hong Kong-based media reported that Wang Qishan, head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC Central Committee, may pay a visit to the US later this year, and probably talk with his hosts about strengthening cooperation to track down these wanted fugitives.
