ARTICLE: "China Urges Western Nations to Enter Extradition Treaties," by David Lague, New York Times, 29 May 2007, p. A3.
China finds suspects flee to Western nations with no extradition treaties with China, so China wants such treaties now.
But those countries have no such treaties because they don't respect China's legal system.
So cleaning up China's legal system enough to attract such treaties is becoming essential to fight official corruption (the classic case is the government official who steals and then flees). "Senior Chinese officials routinely warn that rampant corruption is one of the biggest threats to Communist Party rule."
Great, say I.
We just make our standards known and then sit back and wait on China to meet them.
