U.S. Department Homeland Security: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement on its website, according to The Japan Times. Secretary Johnson and Minister Guo agreed to a more streamlined process to repatriate Chinese nationals with final orders of removal, while applications for protection will continue to be handled in accordance with U.S. law and American values, the statement said. Talks last week between Chinese domestic security leaders Meng Jianzhu and Guo Shengkun and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson also touched on counterterrorism, intellectual property rights, maritime law enforcement and cybersecurity issues, Xinhua said. The two also agreed to increase information sharing on foreign terrorist fighters through international databases. Chinese public security authorities said the United States supported Chinese programs dubbed Sky Net and Operation Fox Hunt, which are meant to coordinate a campaign to track down suspected corrupt officials who have fled overseas and to recover their assets. Guo said the two sides should seek cooperation in law-enforcement, and that both sides agreed they would not provide refuge to fugitives, Xinhua reported. (news.financializer.com).
