在国际反腐败峰会上的书面发言

（2016年5月12日）

中华人民共和国监察部部长 黄树贤

    尊敬的卡梅伦首相，各位嘉宾，女士们、先生们、朋友们：

    很高兴出席此次反腐败峰会，我谨代表中国政府，对峰会的召开表示热烈祝贺，对主办方英国所做的精心准备和周到安排表示由衷感谢！

    腐败自有人类文明史以来就一直存在，古今中外，概莫能外。反腐败是世界各国面临的共同任务，需要齐心协力、共同治理。此次峰会聚焦反腐败国际合作，向世人表明我们共同打击腐败的坚定决心。借此机会，我就中国反腐败工作情况作个简要介绍。

    2012年11月中国共产党第十八次全国代表大会以来，以习近平同志为总书记的党中央协调推进“四个全面”战略布局，坚定不移推进全面从严治党，推动党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争取得新的重大成效，赢得了人民群众的信任和拥护。

    一是狠抓作风建设，持之以恒纠正“四风”。中央政治局出台关于改进工作作风、密切联系群众的八项规定，重点整治形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风等四种不良风气，严肃查处公款吃喝送礼、借婚丧喜庆敛财、出入私人会所等突出问题。2013年至2015年，全国共查处违反中央八项规定精神问题11.4万起，处理党员干部15万人，其中给予党纪政纪处分6.5万人，党风政风明显改善，民风社风为之一新。

    二是保持高压态势，零容忍惩治腐败。我们严明纪律和规矩，坚持有腐必惩、有贪必肃，“老虎”“苍蝇”一起打。中央纪委监察部立案审查一批党的高级干部严重违纪问题。2013年至2015年，全国共给予党纪政纪处分75万人，涉嫌犯罪被移送司法机关处理3.6万人。经过3年多努力，不敢腐的震慑作用充分发挥，不能腐、不想腐的效应初步显现，反腐败斗争压倒性态势正在形成。

    三是全面开展巡视，加强对领导干部的监督。中央派出巡视组到地方、部门和企事业单位，检查中央路线方针政策执行情况，着力发现违反政治纪律和政治规矩、违反中央八项规定精神、违规选人用人和腐败问题。3年多来，中央巡视组已巡视181个地方、部门和单位党组织，实现了对31个省（区、市）、中管国有重要骨干企业和中管金融单位的全覆盖。巡视成为党内监督的利剑，震慑遏制作用不断增强。

    四是加大治本力度，扎紧制度笼子。全面深化改革，铲除滋生腐败的温床和土壤。推进政府机构改革和职能转变，大力实施简政放权，3年来已累计取消行政审批事项1000多项。全面推进政务公开，推行权力清单、责任清单、负面清单制度。完善反腐倡廉法规制度体系，修订颁布廉洁自律准则、党纪处分条例和巡视工作条例。坚持把纪律挺在前面，强化对党员的日常教育管理监督，发现问题及时谈话提醒、警示诫勉，抓早抓小、严格执纪，用严明的纪律管住大多数。

    我们坚持依法治国、依规治党，保持政治定力，认准正确方向，踩着不变的步伐，以顽强的毅力和不屈的韧劲，把党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争一步步引向深入。

    女士们、先生们、朋友们！

    中国高度重视并积极推动反腐败国际合作。习近平主席在重大外交活动中，30多次就反腐败发表重要论述，推动国际社会携手打击各类跨国腐败犯罪活动。中国政府将反腐败国际合作和追逃追赃工作纳入反腐败工作总体部署，建立集中统一的领导体制和高效顺畅的跨部门协调机制，拓宽对外合作渠道，持续加大工作力度，不断扩大工作成果。

    一是搭建国际合作平台。中国参与15个全球和区域反腐败合作机制，积极履行《联合国反腐败公约》，先后担任亚太经合组织、二十国集团反腐败工作组主席，推动通过亚太经合组织《北京反腐败宣言》，健全亚太经合组织反腐败执法合作网络和二十国集团拒绝腐败分子入境执法合作网络，推动建立金砖国家反腐败合作机制。同联合国毒罪办、国际反腐败学院、国际刑警组织、世界银行、经合组织等保持密切沟通与协作。中国与89个国家和地区建立反腐败合作关系，对外缔结44项引渡条约和57项刑事司法协助条约，与35个国家和地区签署金融情报交换合作协议。

    二是开展追逃追赃行动。2014年以来，中国政府连续开展“天网行动”，集中缉捕外逃腐败分子和经济犯罪嫌疑人，已从71个国家和地区追回外逃人员1657人，追回赃款62.9亿元人民币。我们还集中公布100名已被发布红色通缉令的外逃人员名单，在国际刑警组织和有关国家支持下已到案27人。中英两国根据《联合国反腐败公约》开展个案合作，英国政府向中国澳门特区政府返还2827万英镑腐败犯罪资产。中美两国共同确定5起重点案件，指定专人集中突破，有2人已主动回国投案自首，2人在美国被定罪入狱。

    三是打击跨国商业贿赂。中国政府既对中资企业在国（境）外从事商业贿赂行为予以惩罚，也依法查处国（境）外经济组织在中国境内的商业贿赂行为。2012年以来，共查处各类商业贿赂案件约1.4万件，涉案金额约44亿元。中国建立行贿犯罪档案查询系统和市场诚信记录信息库，正着手修订《中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法》，进一步加大对各类商业贿赂行为的打击力度。中国还积极参与二十国集团反腐败工作组、亚太经合组织反腐败工作组框架下的反贿赂合作，2014年与经合组织共同主办亚太经合组织反腐败高层研讨会，今年还将与英国共同主办二十国集团反腐败工作组系列会议。

    女士们、先生们、朋友们！

    当今国际形势正发生重大、复杂、深刻变化，加强反腐败国际合作成为深化全球治理、推动全球可持续发展的重要议程。在此，我就深化反腐败国际合作提出3点主张：

    一是坚持平等互信，凝聚政治共识。一个国家选择什么样的模式和道路反腐败，是由本国历史文化和国情决定的。反腐败合作要相互尊重国家主权、政治体制和法律制度，尊重国情差异，实现求同存异、包容互鉴、凝心聚力、共同发展。在尊重主权、平等互利前提下，各国要进一步发挥政治领导力，强化政治共识，践行政治承诺，以实际行动旗帜鲜明地打击跨国腐败犯罪，展现惩治腐败、廉洁诚信的坚定态度，让腐败分子永无“避罪天堂”。

    二是坚持循序渐进，拓宽合作平台。由于各国政治体制、法律制度、社会文化等方面的差异，反腐败合作要找准突破口，坚持案例先行，由浅入深、由易到难、逐步消除法律障碍，形成机制和惯例，在解决问题上下功夫。在多边层面，要继续将追逃追赃列为重要国际机制的主要议题之一，发挥《联合国反腐败公约》主渠道作用，发挥国际刑警组织、世界银行等专业机构重要作用，健全亚太经合组织、二十国集团等多边框架下的全球和区域性执法合作网络。在双边层面，各国要努力克服政治法律障碍，积极缔结引渡条约、刑事司法协助条约，建立反腐败、警务、检务、外交、反洗钱等多部门参与的执法合作机制，灵活运用刑事、民事手段开展合作。

    三是坚持互利共赢，提升合作实效。要树立双赢、多赢、共赢理念，照顾各国特别是发展中国家的关切，在追求自身利益时兼顾他方利益，在寻求自身发展时促进共同发展，构建共商、共建、共享的国际反腐新秩序。中方倡导各国克服政治法律制度差异，找到合作最大公约数，建立信息共享、联合调查、快速遣返、能力建设等方面的合作机制，在查找、调查、起诉、遣返和引渡腐败犯罪嫌疑人，以及追踪、冻结、追缴和返还腐败犯罪资产方面开展密切协作，提高合作效率。

    女士们、先生们、朋友们！

    深化反腐败国际合作，符合各国政府和人民的共同利益，顺应民心，潜力巨大。中方愿秉持平等互信、循序渐进、互利共赢、注重实效原则，加强与世界各国的务实合作，相互支持、相互协助，织密惩治腐败的合作网络。作为二十国集团反腐败工作组共同主席，中方将会同英方将追逃追赃列为重要议题，推动通过《追逃追赃高级原则》，兼顾各方关切，倡导务实合作，维护法律尊严和社会公平正义，让各国人民公平共享反腐败合作带来的红利。

    最后，预祝本次会议取得圆满成功！

    谢谢！

    Remarks by H.E. Huang Shuxian

    Minister of Supervision of

    the People’s Republic of China

    at the Anti-Corruption Summit

    London, 12 May 2016

    Prime Minister David Cameron,

    Distinguished Guests,

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Friends,

    It gives me great pleasure to attend this summit. On behalf of the Chinese government, I wish to extend warm congratulations on the opening of the summit and sincere appreciation to our British host for all the meticulous preparation and thoughtful arrangement.

    The history of corruption is as old as the human civilization. This is true in all parts of the world. The fight against corruption is thus a common task facing all countries, a task that requires shared commitment and global action. By highlighting the need for international cooperation, this summit is set to demonstrate to the world our determination to jointly combat corruption. I wish to use this opportunity to give you an update on China’s anti-corruption efforts.

    Since the 18th CPC National Congress in November 2012, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the General Secretary has been advancing in a balanced fashion a four-pronged strategy geared to improve party discipline, realize initial prosperity, deepen reform and strengthen the rule of law. It has made tremendous efforts to promote Party integrity, and clean governance and curb corruption. The remarkable success of those efforts have won the Party trust and support from the people.

    To be more specific, our efforts focused on several areas. Our first focus is to improve the Party’s style by going after formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance. The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee issued an eight-point decision in this respect, demanding investigations into and tougher punishment for corrupt behavior such as dining and gifting with public funds, accepting gift money at weddings, funerals or other special occasions and visiting private clubs. The aim is to improve the Party’s conduct and keep it close to the people. Between 2013 and 2015, 114,000 violations against the eight-point decision were investigated nationwide, exposing 150,000 Party officials, among whom 65,000 were disciplined. These efforts have visibly improved Party conduct and greatly boosted integrity of the society.

    Our second focus is punishing corruption with tough measures and zero tolerance. We reaffirmed the disciplines and rules against corruption and made it clear that anyone breaking those rules will be dealt with regardless of their positions. Cases were filed by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Ministry of Supervision to look into serious disciplinary violations by some senior Party officials. Between 2013 and 2015, 750,000 people were disciplined nationwide, including 36,000 facing criminal charges. Our efforts in the past three years have had an enormous deterrent effect on public officials, which marked initial success and contributed to the formation of an overwhelming momentum in the fight against corruption.

    Our third focus is strengthening the supervision of officials through cross-Party inspections. The central authorities dispatched inspection teams to local authorities, government agencies, state-owned companies and government-affiliated institutions. Their task is to see whether the policies of the central authorities are faithfully implemented, particularly whether there are violations of political discipline and rules, including the eight-point decision, whether the selection of officials is rules-based and whether there is corruption. Over the past three years, these teams have visited 181 Party organizations, covering all the 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, as well as all the key state-owned enterprises and financial institutions under the supervision of the central authorities. Inspection has thus become a powerful tool for intra-Party supervision, acting as an effective deterrent against corruption.

    Our fourth focus is building stronger institutions to tackle corruption from its root. China has been deepening all-round reform to eliminate the breeding ground for corruption. We have been reforming government institutions and transforming their functions by streamlining administration and delegating power. Over the past three years, the government has shortened the list of matters requiring administrative approval by over 1,000 items. We have improved government transparency and introduced the lists of government power and responsibilities and the negative list for companies’ market access. We have enhanced the framework of anti-corruption rules, revised and issued the code of integrity and on self-discipline, regulations on disciplinary action and regulations on inspection work. We have kept emphasizing that disciplines must always come first and made it a daily routine to educate Party members about the importance of party discipline and strengthened supervision. We have made great efforts to make sure that Party members are given timely warnings whenever tendencies toward mal-practice are discovered and that discipline is strictly enforced so as to keep the majority of the Party members away from the temptation of corruption.

    Our commitment to law-based governance and rule-based Party discipline is strong. We will keep to the right political course and make sure that the improvement of Party conduct and our fight against corruption will stay as an ongoing process with more in-depth progress.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Friends,

    China greatly values and takes an active part in global cooperation on anti-corruption. President Xi Jinping made important remarks about anti-corruption on more than 30 key diplomatic occasions to call for closer international cooperation against transnational crimes involving corruption. The Chinese government has made cooperation and the pursuit of fugitives and recovery of criminal proceeds part of its work plan on anti-corruption and established a clear and efficient inter-agency coordination mechanism with centralized leadership structure. We are seeking to expand the channels and increase the intensity of cooperation to deliver more results.

    First, we will build more platforms for international cooperation. China is a member of 15 global and regional anti-corruption cooperation mechanisms. China has actively fulfilled its obligations under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and served as the chair of the anti-corruption working groups of APEC and the G20. China championed the adoption of the APEC Beijing Declaration on Fighting Corruption, the establishment of the APEC Network of Anti-Corruption Authorities and Law Enforcement Agencies and the G20 Denial of Entry Experts’ Network, and pushed for the establishment of a BRICS mechanism for anti-corruption cooperation. China has maintained close communication and cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, Interpol, the World Bank, the OECD and other organizations. China has anti-corruption cooperation with 89 countries and regions, concluded 44 extradition treaties and 57 treaties on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters and signed financial information exchange agreements with 35 countries and regions.

    Second, we will continue to go after fugitives and their illegal assets. Since 2014, the Chinese government’s “Sky Net” operation has brought back 1,657 fugitives of corruption and economic crimes from 71 countries and territories and recovered illegal assets worth RMB6.29 billion. We have published a list of 100 fugitives who are on Interpol’s red notice, and brought 27 of them to justice with the support of Interpol and relevant countries. China and the United Kingdom have worked together on individual cases in accordance with the UNCAC. The UK government has returned corruption-related assets worth ￡28.27 million to China’s Macao SAR government. China and the United States have identified five high-profile cases and designated special teams to crack them. Two suspects have surrendered themselves to Chinese police, and another two have been convicted and sent to prison in the US.

    Third, we will crack down on transnational commercial bribery. The Chinese government punishes such activities by both Chinese companies overseas and foreign companies in China. Since 2012, we have handled 14,000 commercial bribery cases valued at RMB4.4 billion. We have set up a criminal record system and a market credibility database. We are revising the Anti-Unfair Competition Law to step up the fight against commercial bribery. China has also taken an active part in the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group and the APEC Anti-Corruption and Transparency Working Group. In 2014, China and the OECD co-hosted an APEC Anti-Corruption High-Level Workshop. A series of meetings of the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group have been and will be co-chaired by China and the UK this year.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Friends,

    The world is undergoing profound and complex changes. Strengthening international anti-corruption cooperation is vital to global governance and sustainable development. In this context, let me make three proposals for anti-corruption cooperation.

    First, build political consensus on the basis of equality and trust. Each country must choose its anti-corruption model and path according to its own history, culture and circumstance. In anti-corruption cooperation, countries should respect each other’s sovereignty, political system, legal system and national conditions. We need to agree to disagree, learn from each other with an open mind, build consensus, and pursue shared interests. On the basis of respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefits, countries need to show greater political leadership, strengthen political consensus, and honor political commitments. It is important to champion integrity and honesty, take a clear stand against transnational corruption, and adopt concrete actions to combat it. We must deny corrupt elements any safe haven.

    Second, take incremental steps to expand cooperation. Given the differences in our political and legal system, society and culture, countries should focus on individual cases to begin with. They can then build on such cooperation to gradually remove legal obstacles, establish mechanisms and agreed practice, and address the more difficult issues. Multilaterally, we need to continue to give priority to chasing fugitives and recovering their illegal assets in key international mechanisms, make full use of UNCAC as the main channel, leverage the important role of Interpol, World Bank and other organizations, and improve global and regional law enforcement cooperation networks under APEC, G20, etc. At the bilateral level, countries must work hard to overcome political and legal barriers, actively conclude extradition treaties and treaties on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, build cooperation mechanisms involving anti-corruption, police, prosecution, diplomatic, and anti-money laundering agencies, and conduct cooperation flexibly using all criminal and civilian measures available to us.

    Third, pursue win-win and result-oriented cooperation. In the spirit of win-win, countries must work hard to accommodate each other’s concerns, particularly those of developing countries, take care of others’ interests while pursuing one’s own, promote common development while seeking one’s own development, and build a new international anti-corruption order of wide consultation, joint contribution and shared benefit. China calls on countries to overcome differences in political and legal systems, seek the highest common denominator for cooperation, establish cooperation mechanisms for information sharing, joint investigation, rapid repatriation and capacity building, and conduct smooth, efficient cooperation in the search, investigation, prosecution, repatriation and extradition of corruption suspects as well as the tracking, freezing, seizure and recovery of illegal assets.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Friends,

    It is in the common interests of governments and people around the world to deepen international anti-corruption cooperation. Our people support it and so much more can be done. In accordance with the principles of equality, mutual trust, incremental progress, mutual benefit and result-oriented cooperation, China would like to strengthen practical cooperation, mutual support and mutual assistance with other countries, and knit a close cooperation network. As the co-chair of the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group, China will join efforts with the UK to make chasing fugitives and recovering illegal assets a priority high on the G20 agenda, work for the adoption of the G20 High-Level Principles on Cooperation on Corruption Fugitives and Related Asset Recovery, accommodate the concerns of other parties, promote practical cooperation, and uphold the dignity of law as well as social equity and justice, so that people around the world will share in the dividends of anti-corruption cooperation.

    In conclusion, I wish this meeting a great success.

    Thank you.
