Earlier this year, the Chinese government recently released 'Skynet', an initiative that attempts to fish out corrupt government officials from hiding. Skynet also published a list of 100 officials involved in a graft and corruptions.

Huang ranked fourth in the list and was subjected to an Interpol 'red notice', the closest instrument to an international warrant, according to SCMP.

Interpol, otherwise known as the International Criminal Police Organization, disseminates notices to their member countries, listing people who are wanted for extradition.

The 64-year-old returned to her home country after persuasion by the Chinese government, as stated by the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The committee added that law enforcement office from China and United States worked hand in hand in investigating Huang's case in the judicial department.

Shi Faliang, Huang's husband was arrested in 2005 and indicted of corruption and graft charges.

Failang was also a government official and previously held a position as the Henan Provincial Transport Department Chief.

Although Huang did not provide any reason for her return, she expressed her belief that she made the best decision to come back to China and participate in the judicial proceedings, according to CCDI.

China changed its strategy in hunting fugitives following a series of complaints from countries that objected to Beijing's practice of sending investigators to trace people.

The country's extradition deal with other countries was also lambasted by the Western nations, revealing their methods of interrogating corrupt officials involved torture, a violation of human rights.

President Xi Jinping has launched a nationwide campaign against corruption since 2013. The government stated that they are now offering lighter sentences and better treatment of family members to encourage suspects to return from abroad.
