A girl who Beijing named as its most -wanted economic fugitive has returned to China after 13 years on the run.
Ms Yang, 70, was detained in the United States after she tried to enter the country using a fake Dutch passport.
She actually is a high-profile target in the crackdown on corruption of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Ms Yang handed herself over to Chinese authorities, in accordance with the government watchdog, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of China.
Chinese state media said after feeling she had not got sufficient care in the American penitentiary system Ms Yang desired to return for medical treatment.
In April 2015, China released the names of 100 defendants said to be living abroad and needed for economic crimes. Ms Yang was top of that list, with her details published on the site of Interpol.
Ms Yang amassed a bundle supervising building jobs as deputy mayor of Wenzhou in the 1990s in eastern China, according to reports in state media.
She left her homeland and went into hiding.
The US immigration agency had confirmed that Ms Yang had been held in a detention facility in New Jersey.
An US State Department representative said, in October, that this wasn’t under dialogue, although China has been driving to establish an extradition treaty with the United States.
Yet the representative, Anna Richey-Allen, also told Reuters that fugitives could be returned to countries without an extradition treaty, if carried out “within the bounds and protections afforded by our constitution and laws”.
It aims to confiscate misappropriated cash and assets.
