A leafy street in Sydney's Burwood has been listed by China's feared corruption investigators as the possible residence of one of its 'most wanted' international fugitives.

Ji Dongsheng, a former manager at Henan Securities in Zhengzhou, has been on China's list of 100 most wanted officials for two years, and is believed to be living in Australia.

Now China's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has posted the addresses of 22 corruption suspects who have fled overseas, 10 of who are living in the United States, four in New Zealand, and five in Canada.

Mr Ji is said to be living in Ethel Street, Burwood. The street, a typical inner west mixture of large Victorian terrace houses and red brick apartments, has now become a focus of Chinese President Xi Jinping's Operation Skynet.

The discipline commission, which has courted controversy for its secret interrogations of thousands of suspects, said the information was based on tip-offs from Chinese citizens abroad. It encouraged more informants to come forward.

"We expect overseas Chinese and international friends see clearly the true face of those corrupted, stop then from staining Chinese and local community, give them nowhere to hide, and return a piece of pure land to locals," the CCDI website said, above a list of the fugitives photographs.

However an extradition treaty between Australia and China stalled after the Turnbull government was unable to get support for legislation from Labor, who held human rights concerns.

The US, Canada and New Zealand similarly do not have extradition agreements with China.

Chinese analysts told Fairfax Media at the time the extradition bill stalled that the Chinese government would resort to "other options" to attempt to persuade the fugitives to return to a China to face trial.

The publication of Mr Ji's possible address, photograph and details of his identity and travel documents, along with the call for tip-offs from the Chinese expatriate community in Australia, appears to be an attempt at publicly shaming him into return.

Chinese media on Thursday reported that Mr Ji had been a manager of Henan Securities in Zhengzhou who was alleged to have misappropriated client funds.

He allegedly instructed IT staff to allow clients guarantee funds to be used for share trading, which resulted in severe losses. He fled to Australia in 2002.

All of the 22 named are also the subject of Interpol red notices.

"We urge specific countries not to pursue their own economic interests by issuing passports and visas through investment immigration schemes when applicants are suspected of corruption," said the commission.

The commission website claimed that by the end of March, Operation Sky Net had repatriated 2873 fugitives from 90 countries, including 40 who had been subject to an Interpol red notice.

When the top 100 list was published in 2015 it included 10 people believed to be in Australia. Three returned to China last year after pressure on their families.

China's corruption crackdown has become a hallmark of President Xi Jinping's control of the Communist Party.

In 2016, 47,650 corrupt officials were investigated, including 21 at a ministerial level, according to state media. 

In recent weeks, the focus of the corruption crackdown has turned to the finance industry.

Human rights groups have raised concerns that the corruption crackdown is also being used to settle political scores, and there is insufficient transparency in China's court system to guarantee fair trials.
