Anti-money laundering needs to be enhanced "The laws and regulations against money laundering are not well designed, and do not follow international practice and the requirements of the work," he said. Financial institutions do not fully realize the importance of anti-money laundering, he said, noting that money laundering methods have become more complicated and specialized. In 1997, China made clear the crime of money laundering in its revised Criminal Law. In September 2003, the People's Bank of China established an anti-money laundering department. A national supervision and analysis center against money laundering was set up in April 2004. Since 2002, 57 underground banking bodies have been destroyed in coastal Fujian and Guangdong provinces, with more than 240 suspects arrested and billions of yuan involved, according to official figures. "China is making an effort to join international organizations on anti-money laundering and is enhancing cooperation with other countries and regions," Zhou said. |
