According to the "Foreign Ministry spokesman's office", at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on October 29, a reporter asked: the US side said that eight people were prosecuted for participating in China's "fox hunting operation" and that "fox hunting operation" was illegal, and five people were arrested on Wednesday. What is the comment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this?
Wang Wenbin: it is a just cause to crack down on transnational crimes and carry out international pursuit of fugitives and stolen goods, which has been widely recognized by the international community. Without rebuke, China's law enforcement agencies strictly enforce international law enforcement cooperation in accordance with international law, fully respect foreign legal and judicial sovereignty, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of suspect in accordance with the law. China is firmly opposed to the US side's disregard of the basic facts and its ulterior motives to slander and discredit China's pursuit of stolen goods.
We urge the US side to immediately correct its mistakes, earnestly fulfill its obligations under the United Nations Convention against transnational organized crime, the United Nations Convention against corruption and other international treaties, undertake international responsibilities, and not become a "haven for criminals".
