Article 38 Extradition shall be executed by the public security organs. Where the State Council decides to grant extradition, the Ministry of foreign Affairs shall, without delay, notify the Ministry of Public Security of the decision, and notify the Requesting State to consult with the Ministry of Public Security for arrangements with regard to the time, place, manners for surrender of the person sought and other matters related to execution of the extradition.

Article 39 Where extradition is to be executed in accordance with the provisions of Article 38 of this Law, the public security organ shall, in accordance with the decision of the People's Court, transfer the property related to the case to the Requesting State.

因被请求引渡人死亡、逃脱或者其他原因而无法执行引渡时，也可以向请求国移交上述财物。
When extradition cannot be executed for reasons of death or escape of the person sought or for other reasons, the property mentioned above may, all the same, be transferred to the Requesting State.

第四十条请求国自约定的移交之日起十五日内不接收被请求引渡人的，应当视为自动放弃引渡请求。公安机关应当立即释放被请求引渡人，外交部可以不再受理该国对同一犯罪再次提出的引渡该人的请求。
Article 40 Where, within 15 days from the date agreed on for surrender, the Requesting State does not take over the person sought, it shall be regarded as waiving the request for extradition of its own accord. The public security organ shall immediately release the person, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may refuse to accept any fresh request by the Requesting State for extradition of the person for the same offence.

请求国在上述期限内因无法控制的原因不能接收被请求引渡人的，可以申请延长期限，但最长不得超过三十日，也可以根据本法第三十八条的规定重新约定移交事宜。
Where, for reasons beyond its control, the Requesting State fails to take over the person sought within the above-mentioned time limit, it may request an extension of the time limit for not more than 30 days, or seek to negotiate for fresh arrangements for surrender in accordance with the provisions of Article 38 of this Law.

第四十一条被引渡人在请求国的刑事诉讼终结或者服刑完毕之前逃回中华人民共和国的，可以根据请求国再次提出的相同的引渡请求准予重新引渡，无需请求国提交本章第二节规定的文件和材料。
Article 41 Where the person under extradition escapes back to the People's Republic of China before criminal proceedings are terminated or his sentence is served in the Requesting State, that person may be re- extradited upon a fresh request for extradition made the requesting State in respect of the same offence and the Requesting State need not submit the documents and material provided for in Section 2 of this Chapter.

第四十三条如果暂缓引渡可能给请求国的刑事诉讼造成严重障碍，在不妨碍中华人民共和国领域内正在进行的刑事诉讼，并且请求国保证在完成有关诉讼程序后立即无条件送回被请求引渡人的情况下，可以根据请求国的请求，临时引渡该人。
Article 43 If postponed extradition may seriously impede the criminal proceedings in the Requesting State, the person sought may be extradited temporarily upon the request of the Requesting State on condition that the criminal proceedings being conducted in the territory of the People's Republic of China are not hindered and the Requesting State undertakes to send back that person unconditionally and immediately after concluding the relevant proceedings.
