Skills problem for global campaign
Print Edition
CHINA’S efforts to take its anti-graft campaign global are being hampered by a lack of officials familiar with foreign languages and laws, according to the People’s Daily newspaper.
China has pursued and brought home more than 600 suspected corrupt officials this year, in a strategy dubbed “Operation Fox Hunt,” as it widens a crackdown on deep-rooted graft that was launched by President Xi Jinping three years ago.
More than a dozen of the top 100 suspects China targeted with an Interpol red notice in April have also been repatriated.
The Communist Party’s official newspaper admitted that China’s international anti-graft cooperation was “still not perfected” and there were “many blank spaces.”
There is an urgent need to “massively strengthen” the ranks of those working to try to bring corruption suspects back to China, the paper said in a commentary.
Such individuals need multi-disciplined skills, the most basic of which is an ability to speak foreign languages, it added.
“It can be seen that experts in international anti-corruption cooperation are still a scarce commodity,” it said, calling for specialized training programs to bridge the gap.
China does not understand enough about the legal systems of other countries, especially those that are very different, it added.
“We need to organize academics and pragmatic experts to increase their research into this,” the paper said.
China has already had to alter the way it chases down those suspected of hiding overseas.
This year it appointed Liu Jianchao, an urbane, fluent English-speaking diplomat, to head its team in charge of repatriating graft suspects who had fled abroad.
In London last month, he told reporters that China had changed its tactics after some countries objected to Beijing’s practice of sending investigators to track down suspects.
