Do gangs exist in mainland China? Triads? Or is that just in Hong Kong?

OF COURSE !!!!! Gangs are EVERYWHERE.

And in China, alot of the criminals work in small, loosely-knit gangs that are involved in armed robbery, racketeering, smuggling, narcotics trafficking, prostitution, gambling and even contract murder.

And MOST HORRIBLE AND TROUBLESOME is alot of the gangs/triads have close relations with the police and are even run by the police. Numerous incidents/cases were busted in the past, and there was this famous case back in 2007; 10 members of a police-run gang in Inner Mongolia were sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for robbery, rape, gambling and bribery. The gang had been active for more than 10 years. (Can you imagine that???)

Gangs, triads and organized crime had been a BIG PROBELM in many Chinese cities, with some senior officials offering a “protective umbrella.” In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other major cities, collusion had been prevailing between corrupted officals and triads for the set-up of illegal businesses and extorting money.

There is this ACTUALLY pretty INFORMATIVE article (even though a bit OUT-DATED with update upto 2011 only) about EVERYTHING you need to learn about gangs, triads and organized crime in China by Jeffery Hays which will give you MORE INSIGHTS into the situation.

after WW2, many new Aerospace cos started in LA. many Black GI stay and got relatively good-paying jobs. with GI benefits, they were able to buy homes in So central

post Korea war resulted in another wave of Black GIs moving into So central LA

I've never been near USC but I have watched 3 Will Smith movies

so any news on this case? theres been alot deadly killings within asians and the suspects being asian in the bay area as of late. vietnamese man kills 5 family members, korean man goes nuts and kills 7 innocents, and many other crimes such as a asian man sexually assaulting women in the streets of oakland. i guess this is the year of asian men whether its basketball or going nuts.

there's been a lot including release of their identities and a bounty offered for information on the shootings



their names were Ming Qu and Ying Wu, both grad students in electrical engineering, both aged 23.

police have declared they are acting "aggressively" to solve the murders. they have no leads at this time
