Chinese authorities have launched the latest version of the "Fox Hunt" campaign to track down corrupt officials who are at-large overseas.

The Ministry of Public Security says its part of the larger campaign, codenamed "Sky Net," focusing on nabbing corrupt officials or suspects who have fled to industrialized countries.

At the same time, Chinese authorities are hoping to work with other countries to step-up the extradition of corrupt officials who have fled overseas.

Officials in-charge of the "Sky Net" program say they're going to focus on both pursuit and persuasion in getting economic fugitives back to China.

Authorities nabbed 680 suspects in last year's "Fox Hunt" campaign.

It's been revealed Israel and Portugal have also submitted applications to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank as founding members.

The two countries officially submitted their written applications before the deadline.

Around 3-dozen countries have applied to be founding members of the bank, including the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Australia among others.

The AIIB is expected to be formally established by the end of this year.
