Chinese police have launched this year's campaign to apprehend economic fugitives who have fled overseas, according to the Ministry of Public Security. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.

Public security organs will intensify efforts to solve key cases of fugitive repatriation and the recovering of criminal assets in the "Fox Hunt 2023" campaign, and support discipline inspection and supervision departments in this regard, the ministry said.

During last year's "Fox Hunt" campaign, Chinese police have arrested more than 700 fugitives suspected of various economic crimes, and recovered ¥1 bln (about $144 mln) of illegal assets in one single case, the largest amount of this kind in the past three years, the ministry added.

China launched its "Fox Hunt" operation in 2014 to pursue economic fugitives.
