China seized more than 850 fugitives hiding overseas last year, in a campaign to net suspects implicated in economic crimes.
The fugitives, scattered across over 60 countries and regions, include 360 who turned themselves in to police as part of Fox Hunt 2015.
Over 210 were implicated in cases involving over 10 million yuan or 1.5 million U.S. dollars, 40 had been on the run for over a decade, and one had evaded the law for 21 years.
Fox Hunt 2015 is part of the "Sky net" overseas anti-corruption campaign.
Police helped China's disciplinary body captured 120 fugitives suspected of duty-related crimes.
The Ministry of Public Security says "Fox Hunt 2016" will be launched soon.
