Prosecutors' agency to target financial crimes

China's top investigative and prosecution agency will focus on financial crimes in 2009, and the government is also likely to strengthen its anti-corruption efforts.

The country's chief procurator, Cao Jianming, recently told the National People's Congress (NPC) that the main task of the Supreme People's Procuratorate this year would be to “discourage illegal activities in finance, bond trading and real estate.”
