Philippines to boost anti-corruption cooperation with China: official

January 18, 2019


Abstract : The Philippines will further anti-corruption cooperation with China after a collaboration between the two sides resulted in the capturing of a wanted Chinese duty-crime fugitive, a high-level Philippine anti-corruption official said on Thursday.

MANILA, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Philippines will further anti-corruption cooperation with China after a collaboration between the two sides resulted in the capturing of a wanted Chinese duty-crime fugitive, a high-level Philippine anti-corruption official said on Thursday.

Eduardo Bringas, executive director of the Philippine Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), told Xinhua that both China and the Philippines have "common interests in fighting against corruption."

The PACC, created by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in October 2017, has the power to go after government officials and file corruption complaints and submit to the president for appropriate action.

Bringas said capturing Xie Haojie, a Chinese duty-crime suspect, is the PACC's first successful case on anti-corruption with a foreign country, and the collaboration between the two countries' anti-corruption agencies made this happen.

Xie, 49, was wanted for abuse of power as a state-owned enterprise employee.

A former head of a paper recycling company in China's eastern Jiangsu Province, Xie fled abroad in March 2018 and has been targeted in an investigation by the supervisory authorities of the Chinese city of Wuxi since June last year. Chinese Police launched a cyber manhunt for him in October last year.

Xie was captured in Manila by the collaboration of Chinese and Philippine anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies, said a statement of the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission on Thursday.

"Corruption is a common enemy of all nations," Bringas said, adding that "we are cooperative with other countries especially with China on this matter and we won't allow our country to be a haven for foreign fugitives."

Bringing back fugitives from other countries showed China's determination to crack down on corruption, Bringas said.
