Abstract: In the report of 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that wherever offenders of corruption may flee, they will be brought back and brought to justice. According to the “Skynet” operation, China has issued red notices for the arrest of 100 most wanted Chinese corruption fugitives on the run abroad to strengthen the international repatriate. With unremitting efforts, as ofJuly 28, 2018, there have been 54 of 100 most-wanted corrupt Chinese officials were repatriated. Through an analysis of the repatriates, we found that at present, the measures for getting offenders of corruption back for justice were mainly involuntary repatriate and arrests, few of them applied to repatriation, and there was no successful extradition case yet. An important reason is that when the corrupted officials fled, they chose the countries that did not sign the extradition agreement with China, and even to the countries without diplomatic relations. In the long run, it is critically important to use relevant laws of other countries to apply the repatriation measures and establish a sound bilateral extradition system of judicial assistance in criminal matters, and take the measures of asset recovery so as to stop and prevent the flees. Fighting against corruption regarding persons sought for corruption and asset recovery is aiming to realize the goal of not only punishing and deterring corruption, but also improving international cooperation in the field of criminal justice in China.
