China and US to boost anti-graft measures

WASHINGTON - Senior Chinese and US law enforcement officials have vowed to intensify efforts to fight corruption, including tracking down assets illegally transferred abroad by corrupt officials.

The move comes after China imposed stricter measures to prevent the transfer of assets by corrupt officials.

In recent years, an increasing number of corrupt Chinese officials and their families have reportedly fled the country after amassing huge amounts of money, with many of them seeking shelter in the West.
