Abstract:

The cooperation mechanism between China and the UK in the field of anti-corruption asset recovery has attracted much attention, along with the challenges it faces. China’s corruption problem has compelled the government to make significant efforts in apprehending fugitives who have fled abroad and in addressing the recovery of suspected criminal funds. Within the legal framework of mutual criminal legal assistance between China and the UK, the recovery of corrupt funds must be carried out based on police cooperation. At the same time, the differences between the two countries in terms of asset freezing, confiscation, production orders, and special confiscation procedures may pose challenges for the British judicial system when dealing with China’s requests for judicial assistance. There is still room for improvement in China-UK cooperation on anti-corruption reform, including strengthening law enforcement cooperation and establishing an efficient communication mechanism.
