Chinese triads have expanded their global influence by forming partnerships with Mexican cartels and Italian mafia, focusing on drug trafficking and money laundering. They control opium exports from the Golden Triangle and utilize a clandestine financial system known as "Chinese Flying Money" to facilitate large transfers without physical cash movement. This network allows them to provide laundering services to criminal organizations worldwide. A documentary highlights the violent history of these gangs in Chinese neighborhoods, showcasing their hierarchical structure and the role of community organizations, or tong, in illegal activities. Triads have become key players in the international drug trade, leveraging their connections and financial systems to maintain control and evade law enforcement.
