The US Customs and Immigration Enforcement Bureau (ICE) will work closely with the Chinese Ministry of Public Security to verify the identity of Chinese citizens who apply for travel documents and assist with the repatriation of Chinese fugitive corrupt officials. On April 11, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said during a visit to China that the United States would work with China to streamline the process of repatriation for Chinese corrupt officials.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that Johnson would discuss issues of common concern on his trip to China including counter-terrorism, customs, immigration, and cyber security. Johnson's visit marks the first time in 9 years that a US Secretary of Homeland Security has traveled to China.
China's Supreme Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau revealed last month that China has released a priority list of fugitive officials in the US. China requested assistance from the US in pursuing those on the list believed to be in the United States. The US State Department asked China to help provide evidence and intelligence so that US law enforcement can investigate and prosecute the alleged fugitive officials. The two sides agreed that neither country will provide refuge for fugitive officials and will support each other in the process of repatriation.

Meaning that US courts will seriously take in consideration "evidence" provided by China? Hahahahaha what a jurisprudence. If I were a US citizen I'd have some concerns and questions to ask.

Quite nice to see that points of view of certain American contributors to this site about country sovereignty issue are seen a bit ridiculous even by US government ... In case the countries start to cooperate in preventing crimes or at least assist each other to investigate the criminals whereabouts so this shall certainly help to the world to become safer place with reduced economical and other criminality.
