China will not execute criminal suspects repatriated from Spain, a decision that could help persuade more Western countries to join China’s efforts tracking down corrupt officials who have fled abroad.
The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) ratified the repatriation treaty with Spain on Saturday.
It is the first time China has signed such a treaty with a European or North American country, according to Vice-Foreign Minister Wu Dawei.
