China and ASEAN prosecutors are set to enhance collaboration in the fight against corruption and cross-border money laundering to address new crime challenges and bolster regional security. This initiative was announced by Prosecutor-General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate Ying Yong ahead of the 15th China-ASEAN Prosecutors-General Conference in Hong Kong.

• The conference, launched in 2004, has evolved to cover emerging crimes like transnational telecom fraud, cyber gambling, financial crimes, and money laundering.
• Annual prosecutions for money laundering offenses in China rose by more than 11 percent from 2022 to 2024.
• China plans to strengthen practical cooperation with ASEAN nations on cross-border investigations, evidence exchange, and judicial document delivery.
