China's legislature reviews draft Anti-Cross-Border Corruption Law

The Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress began reviewing a draft Anti-Cross-Border Corruption Law during its 24th session. The law aims to codify a decade of anti-corruption practices, close jurisdictional loopholes, and strengthen China's ability to pursue cross-border corruption cases, repatriate fugitives, and recover illicit assets. The bill text is not yet public.
