Operation Fox Hunt

Operation Fox Hunt (Chinese: 猎狐专项行动; pinyin: Liè hú zhuānxiàng xíngdòng) is a global operation of the government of the People's Republic of China whose purported aim is anti-corruption. It was launched in 2014 under the general secretaryship of Xi Jinping and focuses on repatriating wanted Chinese nationals from other countries. As of 2017, it has led to the arrest of over 40 individuals. Some Western governments and critics have accused the operation of targeting Chinese dissidents living abroad to stop their activism under the guise of returning corrupt Chinese nationals to the country to face criminal charges.
