Korea's prosecution system is drawing Asian attention for its war on corruption, which has sometimes led to the relatives of former presidents being jailed while the leaders were in power.
Since 2010, several delegations from Asia and the Middle East have visited the Supreme Prosecutors' Office (SPO) in Seocho-dong, Seoul.
In 2014, 136 law enforcement officials from 26 countries visited the SPO for a close look at its digital investigation environment and knowhow.
SPO Criminal Justice Policy chief Kim Jin-suk said some delegations were curious about Korea's experience in fighting corruption, and some were struck by the state-of-the-art scientific investigation equipment.
The prosecutor said the latest visitors were prosecutors from the southeastern China province of Fujian.
"Chinese President Xi Jinping has launched a massive anti-corruption drive since he took power in 2013," she said.
"I was told that prosecutors in China are not allowed to investigate criminal cases as powerful Chinese public security officials, who are equivalent to police in Korea, dominate the legal process, including investigations.
"Chinese delegates appeared to be impressed by the Korean prosecution system as prosecutors here are allowed to investigate cases and are in a position to supervise the police."
Her remarks were construed as meaning that no entity can control public security officials in China and this provided a loophole for abuses of power.
"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
