According to Cai Wei, deputy director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the top anti-graft body, China will release the names of officials wanted for corruption-related crimes committed since 2014 as part of this year's Operation Skynet.

Last year, the National Central Bureau of China of the International Criminal Police Organization released a Red Notice naming 100 people wanted for serious corruption-related cases that had fled overseas.

In an interview posted on the official website of the CCDI International Cooperation Bureau, Cai said they are determined to bring the wanted people on the Red Notice to justice. The "Fox Hunt 2016" that chases suspected criminals abroad and takes actions against illegal private banks and offshore companies that transfer money overseas will be the focus of Operation Skynet 2016.

The CCDI requires local authorities to collect information about the people named in the Red Notice and enhance their information sharing about them. In addition, the authorities are also strengthening border inspections and the freezing of assets.
