Gang Name: The Triad
Gang Description: Modern day triads have become more business-like organizations. The interactions and integrations of power among triad gangs from mainland China, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong are often not to evade counter-operations from local authorities, but rather to attain business benefits. At the present, the largest and most business oriented market is the mainland. Triads head for any profitable opportunity, and some Hong Kong triads have taken to making legitimate investments in the Mainland, either for legitimate reasons or just to exploit the legitimacy of these businesses for other illegal purposes.creasing in power, the triads remain low key, yet ruthless in criminal activities. The scale of triad membership is difficult even for its leaders to ascertain. Although some triads have only 50 members, larger ones have over 30,000 members. Well known triads in Hong Kong now include the Sun Yee On, Wo Shing Wo and 14K.
The triads have been engaged in counterfeiting since the 1880s. Between the 1960s and 1970s, the triads were involved in the counterfeiting of Chinese currency, often of the Hong Kong 50-cent piece. In that same decade, the gangs were also guilty of copying books, generally very expensive ones and selling them on the black market. Inevitably, as new technology was developed, and the average person grew wealthier, the triads had to move onto copying newer effects such as watches. This meant that they had a much wider market.
Why?: Over several centuries, what are known as triads today developed from a patriotic society to a criminal organization. Following the Wuchang Uprising on October 1911 and the subsequent overthrow of the Qing Dynasty China the following year, the Hong Society's, primary purpose were thus accomplished. An unfortunate consequence of this new-found victory was the society's loss of a primary purpose; further compounded ironically by the fact that most (if not all) missed out on the opportunity to participate in the actual uprising, thus leaving many of them angry and depressed. Unable to revert back to normal civilian lives after spending years living in grave danger and extreme violence as outlaws, many ex-rebels reunited to form a cult which later came to be known as the Triad. Having lost the usual donations and support from the public with the collapse of the Qing dynasty China, members of the newly-formed cult resorted to money extortion from the unwilling public through all possible means.
