Ok....I am actually from Hong Kong. This video is too general. Most triads in Hong Kong were actually founded by ex military commanders from Kuomintang. Kuomintang had always been wanting to re-take over mainland china one day after their defeat to the Chinese communist party which led them to flee to Taiwan. Sun Yee on was founded by Heung Chin which literally means forward in Chinese "向前“. Heung Chin was a major general for the Kuomintang party. Kuomintang sent bunch of spies to Hong Kong to assert their influence there because Hong Kong could be a refuge and safe spot for the preparation of re-taking mainland China. The 14K was formed by Kuomintang Lieutenant-General Kot Siu-wong in Guangzhou, 14-k was the street number name of their secret organization location. Anyway, most Triad in Hong Kong today is slowly switching in favor of the Communist party anyway. Also, why did bunch of spies and ex-military became gangs and mafia. Well, it was their mission in Hong Kong, they were assigned to infiltrate every possible avenue of influence in Hong Kong. It was a mission to establish Kuomintang control in Hong Kong. The quickest way to grow powerful in Hong Kong included illegal works and business. Thus, they slowly turned into different crime groups and organization. For today Hong Kong, most triad members are no longer Kuomintang or nobody would acknowledge themselves to be one anyway, those traditions and names of different levels of triads members are basically lost. They are much less organized than before after the 90s. In the 70s to 90s, they were very powerful, they had influence over the film business in Hong Kong. If you want more stories on Triad's influence on film business, look up the story of Anita Mui. Anita Mui was slapped in a KTV, she called a Triad guy to kill the guy who slapped her. And the killer was eventually killed by another guy by gun shots in Macau while racing I believed. There was a film literally made by bunch of Triads, the actors initially refused to participate but were forced to do it. The film named was China White played by two big actors Andy Lau and Carina Lau who is Tony Leung's wife. Carina Lau was also kidnapped by Triad before and was stripped naked and filmed. Carina Lau story was extremely shocking at that time, all news media reported the story of the kidnapping. Jet Li's agent was shot and killed also, Cai Ziming was shot 9 times while in his office. How was the Triad so powerful, well the police was corrupted in the 70s and 80s before the establishment of ICAC in today's Hong Kong, ICAC is the anti-corruption office. The ICAC arrested all the high ranking offices in the late 70s charging them of bribery, Lui Lok was dubbed as 'The Five-Hundred-Million-Dollar Inspector', was a former Hong Kong Detective Staff Sergeant. He became notorious for his acts of corruption during the 1960s to 1970s during British Hong Kong period, and being wanted by ICAC. In the 70s, all cops were corrupted, they were working for the Triads and the Triads were working for them. The police was super corrupted at that time, they would arrest innocent citizen and ask for ransom for their release. One big name was Ng Sik-ho, also known as "Crippled Ho" or "Limpy Ho" was a prominent Hong Kong drug lord and triad boss. He was bribing the police officers of Hong Kong. When the ICAC arrest few big officers, all cops went on a strike in Hong Kong, Moreover, in 1973, a highly decorated officer, Chief Superintendent Peter Godber, became embroiled in a corruption scandal found him to have amassed HK$4.3 million in assets. There was a movie made about them named "i corrupt all cops" (2009), it talked about how all cops went on a strike at one point, and they stormed the ICAC headquarter in 1977 and tried to destroy all the evidence. Eventually, the government grant amnesty to most police officers and only prosecute few big names within the police force. Broken Tooth from Macau is ten times more hardcore and scarier than Hong Kong Triads. His named is Wan Kuok-koi, popularly known as Broken Tooth Koi, is a gangster and former leader of the Macau branch of the 14K triad. In the 90s, he tried to assassinate the Macau police chief António Marques Baptista, nicknamed “Rambo”. Broken Tooth's triad planted a car bomb in his car. António Marques Baptista was jogging with his dog and when he returned to his car, the bomb exploded. After he was nearly killed, he stormed Broken Tooth Koi's casino with his men and arrested the Triad boss. There was a photo on google where Broken Tooth was staring at António Marques Baptista outside of his casino with stern eyes and without fear. After his arrest, the court of Macau was attacked by two gunmen with Ak-47 firing at their entrance in a drive-by shooting. The police found a to buy list in Broken Tooth's apartment including bombs, rifles, rocket launcher and armored vehicle. Koi eventually fought off the Hong Kong Triads in Macau when they were fighting over control for casinos. During the 90s, the turf war between Triads in Macau was so vicious that everyday there was someone being assassinated by Triads. Car bombs were detonated on a daily basis. To show how vicious the turf war was, even the deputy secretary for security of the government of Macau Henrique Lages Ribeiro was ambushed. Jail guard was assassinated, an off duty marine police officer was shot five times and killed, the gambling inspection and coordination bureau's director was also shot point blank to the head and killed, the headquarter of Directorate of Judiciary Police was attacked by bomb, the personal driver of the Secretariat for Security of Macau was shot and killed, the Macau prosecutor, Lourenco Nogueiro, and his wife, Maria, were shot while they were in their car by a motorbike rider, with a single bullet hitting them both, they just arrived Macau from Portugal to handle Broken Tooth Koi's case and was attacked. Basically anyone working or have connection with the casino business were at high risk of assassination. Triads in today Macau is much less powerful and organized after returning to China. In 1999, the day before returning to China, Triads were dropping rifles and grenades in the street. They were sacred of CCP, dropping weapons on the street were basically a message to the government that they will be doing "clean" business from now on. If Jake could do a video on Macau 90s Triad turf war would be amazing. There are so much amazing story to talk about, unfortunately some materials are probably in Chinese, not sure about the quality of English reporting on those stories. Triad in today Hong Kong also became much less powerful simply because there are much more efficient way to make money than joining Triads. The only big incident I could think of was Lee Tai-lung 's death. He was a 426 red pole for Sun Yee On. He was ambushed outside of Shangri-La Hotel in Tsui Sha Tsui, Hong Kong while getting off his Mercedes-Benz. He was rammed by a seven-seater and subsequently hacked to death by three triad knifemen. It was a revenge killing by rival in response to a fight in club years ago between him and rival triad boss. Here's the gruesome pictures of his ambush: wedding-jewellery.blogspot.com/2009/08/more-pictures-of-hk-triad-boss-lee-tai.html Another big name I could think of is Kwok Wing-hung, better known as "Shanghai Boy. He was a Triad boss for Wo Shing Wo and escaped an knife attack in Peninsula hotel when he was heavily guarded, he suffered only minor injury. He was attacked because he was working for few casino magnates in Macau, and spent all their money on gambling which he was supposed to be in charge not spent on. It just showed at the end of the day, the billionaires are more powerful than Triad bosses, they would hire them to work for them, if they pissed off the rich guys, they would not hesitate to take revenge as well. Well, because most business magnates in today's Hong Kong were Triads bosses in the past. They usually leave the Triad business once they accumulate enough wealth. Albert Yeung business magnate of Hong Kong, was definitely in the Triad business. He is in the film business. Oriental Daily News in Hong Kong was also found by drug trafficker Ma Sik-chun and his brother. Their company grew so much into a huge enterprise in today's Hong Kong and their offspring also became billionaire today.
@@loonloon6860 but the Kuomintang these days is trying to suck up to the CCP in Taiwan though, they are in full support of Reunification with China, the DDP are the ones calling for Taiwan to become an independent country and not reunify with China

I'll never forget the moment that my late dealer casually mentioned how the Triads were hindering his ability to restock. Luckily for me his pot connection was unafilliated so I never felt the ramifications. Rest in peace JP, I'll never forget you or your life lessons.
@@bruhbruh-kv2rk Nah, heart attack. As far as I'm aware they never had any kind of serious rivalry since they did their business in different areas. If anyone had it out for him he'd have made sure I was nowhere near him until it blew over, he treated me like a son honestly. Once I saw some H bundles in his safe while he was weighing me out and he said "If I ever see or hear of you touching this shit I'm gonna slap the shit outta you." I had no interest anyway but now even in my darkest times I refuse to disappoint him. Sorry if this was kinda rambly, I just always start reminiscing when he comes up.
I used to eat at a hole in the wall restaurant in Hawaii. They had an outdoor eating area where you could eat your plate lunch. I got to talking to a gal who worked there one day and she said she hated her job. I told her there was tons of work out there as Hawaii was booming at the moment. She looked back at the front desk inside the restaurant I guess to see if anyone was watching her and she said she couldn't leave. I realized she was basically working as a serf paying off her debt. I thought about reporting it but then I thought she would just get deported and probably get in trouble for talking. So I didn't report it but I never quit thinking about that woman. I hope her life worked out for her in the end.
It’s not even like that, you can work anywhere. Most Chinese do not fear the snakehead but rather as a service to come to America, if she couldn’t leave it wouldn’t be because of triad.
One of the main reason the Triads are still thriving while most of the other crime syndicates like the Cosa Nostra and The Yakuza are dead or dying is because of their discreet nature. While the other mafia groups was desperate for fame, Triads always prefers to be in shadows. They stay away from popular culture and that is the reason for their success.
I wouldn't call these "documentaries". He doesn't make any of the footage and uses only openly available sources which can be found without too much research, in comparison to actual documentaries. No insider- or deep knowledge. I don't want to discredit him with that. He makes entertaining videos into which he puts a lot of work, but those are not "the best documentaries". The valuable part is not the knowledge we get, which is not too much, but the presentation and structure. This also requires good skills, but the skills and actions required for a video like this and a documentary are different for the most part.
@@ThePandafriend His videos are good for what they are. A real documentary takes a lot of resorces and he could maybe do 1 a year. This short videos get to a lot more people and give a lot of information about very different things, that I enjoy a lot when you don't know much about any of these topics it's very nice.
“Gold mountain” isn’t the direct translation of America. The literal direct translation would be “beautiful country”. The direct translation of San Francisco in chinese however, is “Gold Mountain”.
When i was young my father introduced me to a triad boss during dinner. I was afraid so i said nothing but shook his hand. I remember he was in a black suit. And he treated me nicely. Years later when i asked my father about him. I was told that he was executed by the CCP.
The amount of videos Jake is putting out at the moment, makes me believe he is putting together a very expensive "go bag". Now say it with me: *Jake did not off himself*
I can clarify a bit, before China's rise after the reform and opening, the triads in the world were mostly cantonese(粵) and hokkien(閩). Mostly in HK, taiwan, south east asia and US, but after the china opened its gate to the others; it also opened the ways for other chinese gangs to involve in the world, so to this day chinese gangs are far more different from the 90s and 80s.
You left out the black dragon society (which is based in japan. Dating all the way back to ching dynasty [perhaps even earlier].) I believe reading that the organization changed the name several times. Is not an international syndicate.
@@guillotineblade999 weren't the Black Dragon Society ultranationalist Japanese who ingratiated themselves into far-right politics in Japan because of the Russo-Japanese war(s), govt found them useful in shady operations, which paved the way for high-ranking Yakuza doing the dirty work of and being on the payroll of, many latewar and postwar far-right politicians? Effectively the foundations of the Yakuza, but formed in the 1900s. Not in the Qing dynasty.
I’ve met quite a few who got smuggled into the US, I’ve never heard from any of them getting pushed into a container. It’s always on a ship, like all over the ship, it still sucked but it kinda seems like you didn’t do too much research on this one. Go to New York and talk to people in Chinatown to get the facts and not through movies and shows that over exaggerate everything. The snack heads in the east coast weren’t triads either, they formed their own gangs in America because no one wants to pay taxes to triads back in China or small offices in America that didn’t provide them with more protection than they can themselves.
Yeah I was wondering if they can just not pay back, wondering if maybe the mafia have some control or way to force people to pay, and you just answered that yes they can simply just not pay back debt and join a gang for protection Thank you for the context. This video felt like it had less dedication and left questions unanswered unlike the other videos
It's not like he actually cares about accuracy. He wants to pump out seemingly shocking videos as fast as possible, while portraying himself as some sort of expert or insider. Like what are his sources even?
@@simonghoul3602 He's only pumping out content to make money, it's obvious with the amount of links to paid sponsors in the description. As someone who has family members smuggled into the US and the UK many years ago and also met a number of foreigners smuggled into my country, I know for a fact that they usually just jump into a plane or ship rather than the cargo showed here. Living conditions can be poor for some, but not always the case and usually only appear poor compared to our comfortable living conditions, like how I'm typing from a new laptop I just bought while in my air-conditioned bedroom. There are many ways to do human trafficking, and it's not always as sensational as this video or news portals like to have you believe.
@@sususegar I am not gonna argue what his intentions are man, it's pointless, I don't care. All I want to do his point out that he lists his sources in the description, since Shinkajo said he didn't have sources (probably because he didn't notice, just like most people). Nothing else is meant by it
Hey Jake I just wanted to say that I did buy your course and I was able to get a remote job thanks to you man it’s only been three weeks. you really stand for what you speak on
@@JV-ie4rh Jake Tran has a course called “Laptop Lifestyle”, he teaches how to make good resumes, land remote jobs, and ace interviews. Like I said, please take this info with a grain of salt.
@@shadbakht Monster? Last time I checked, Mao and his men were bravely fighting against the Japanese invaders in WW2, helped defeat them and Mao became the first leader in modern Chinese history to unite the country once again. Mao also kicked out colonial powers, defeated and pushed back the US army in the Korean War to protect Chinese people. That's not what monster do.
@@getsmartquick More like a chinese mix between cowboys and masons. Sure they're into eccentric stuff, - but only for traditional reasons and not because they have some secret agenda. The Vikings didn't attack monestaries because they were blood-sucking demons themselves, - but because the Catholic church had waged cultural war and massacred germanic peoples for a thousand years BEFOREHAND. Similarly, the triads are not actively seeking to be villains - but simply trying to live their lives and maintain their traditions without being massacred or indoctrinated by a tyrannical warmachine. Sure they require payment for their smuggling skills, - but only to have concrete incentive proof that those whom they smuggle won't snitch on them to governments, leading to their own persecution.
Awesome awesome vid Jake. Only one small thing to point out is Taiwan “Triads” are different where they have adopted the cutting the pinky from Yakuza due to Japanese influence. The HK and Chinese triads don’t do that. Anyways hoping you will cover Vietnamese organize crime at some stage, bro you have to shred some light on Hai Phong. Cheers bro
@@fujifilm5127 yes, pretty weird due to law changes. Law changes due to less political influences. Less political influences = less power. Happens with any criminal organisations. Big example would be the American Mafia.
It's crazy that the Yakuza and triads both punish rule breakers by cutting off a pinky. They're so different from each other but both have the same punishment
The main reason, I heard, that it's done so because losing a pinky would hinder the sword wielding which in perspective would make you a worse warrior or smth.
At this point Jake pissed off so many groups and people that he doesn’t even care anymore about pissing off more and proceed to pump out a banger after another
Your kidding yourself if you think they actually care. Most of his information is low rent trash of dubious repute what anyone can find on the internet.
@@haremking7256 very different from the US, wumao boy. The poor in the US almost universally have nice cars, decent size houses, fulltime electricity & clean water, & plenty of clothes & electronics. In other words, the poor of the US live like the rich of China, while the poor of China have literally near 0 possessions & minimal food
@@bigmedge your not from the us are you,they are many ppl Leaving on the streets especially in major cities. millions of ppl leaving off food stamps,millions more unable to go to the hospital when there sick and just wait till they die....There is no perfect government and before you start pointing accusatory fingers check your own back yard
I have little doubt that the triad bosses are CCP members. China isn't a communist country, it's a national socialist one. Nazis and fascists crushed organized crime because it threatened their control, so the triads still existing is most likely because they have somehow aligned with the CCP.
*I’ve seen over 4000 documentaries in my lifetime (it’s my favorite hobby) and I can honestly say that you are my favorite new comer!* Your work is well paced, intelligently written, and always intriguing. I cannot wait to see how far you push yourself as you refine your craft and grow as an artist. I foresee a very bright future ahead of you in this industry 😊🙌
Freemasonry strikes me as one of those organisations that's cloaked in a lot more mystique than it perhaps deserves. It seems to me to be one of those weird clubs that rich and powerful people seem to belong to, mainly for social reasons but also to gain influence. A bit like a college fraternity.
@@seniorrazr1654 Most contemporary sources seem to paint it in such a light. It has an interesting past, and perhaps it used to be more influential, but I don't see any conspiracy.
When you are homeless, you are an easy target, by everyone and everything, mafia, crime, individuals, animals, disease. There is always a way to coerce the desperate to bend to your will, especially if you have the power to improve their life or make it even worse.
Another great OC video. The style of these Docs is well paced interesting, and masterful matched with engaging audio/visuals. Ontop of all that, an EXCELLENT job of explaining these elaborate rackets in a succinct, and easily understandable way. I've been following True/Organized Crime on content, youtube and beyond, for years.. and you have a way of breaking it down that is refreshing.
Yea, a good history documentary for the situation 20 years ago. Nowadays most Chinese are not that interested to immigrate legally or illegally to US, because the wealth gap between US and China has been narrowing. The last time Chinese came in a container was in 2006 according to Google. If Trump has another 4 years, there may be Americans going to China in a container.
Nah, wealth gap isn’t that grand here. Majority still in near dire straights. It was nearly there but since 2019 been pretty gnarly. Not all is a tit seems. Much love though.
Yes, Counter Revolutionary Capitalist Trump does not have Party approved correct thinking and speech, and he nearly ruined the USA with the strongest economy in decades. Our Great Helmsman, Chairman Bei Jing Biden, and The Party, will save us with glorious revolutionary humanist socialist people's .... you know, the thing....come on man.
I like how the Yakuza are the descendants of Samurai while the Triads are the descendants of Shaolin Warrior-Monks. What's next, the Cosa Nostra comes from the gladiators who fought alongside Spartacus? The Cartels being the descendants of the Aztecs? The Crips and Bloods being proud kin of a secretive code from Sudanic warrior societies?
😂 the Crips started off as blacks protecting their communities from dick head police and racist groups. Of course as with all things shit happens and a tainted evil will infiltrate the good mission of a group. As for the bloods I don’t know much of
When you accidentally find this channel on your recommendation, watch for few minutes and now you're on repeat mode? Hope I'm not alone, this kinda addiction is hard to prevent 😂😂😂
Hi, great video but just fyi the man you put of your thumbnail is a KOREAN actor Ha Jungwoo from his film about the KOREAN mafia. Which would be another interesting topic for you to cover
some of the scene cuts portrayed in this video are from a movie called 'internal affairs'. it's the movie that saved hong kong cinema. the movie is so good that martin Scorsese hired matt damon n leo dicaprio to star in his remake version, The Departed
"they only make money when you select a plan that they advise, but it will never affect their judgement" Oh Jake, me and you especially can say that's not true...
Jake can you make a video about off shore casino websites and the relationship with popular youtubers? It would be cool if you got into the tax side of it as well
Didn't coffeezilla/stephen graham /wallstreet bets already covered these topics? We don't want another situation where Jake tries to cover a topic he doesn't know much, like eSports, where he doesn't cover corruption in that industry
@@triadwarfare yes, they have but it is still a new developing story that has to deal with cryptocurrency and IRS tax invasion. Which Jake is very familiar with.
Funny when it's related to organized crimes, suddenly Taiwanese and Hong Kongnese are all called "Chinese". And you just have to link the Hong Kong triad's defense of their city to the Chinese Communist Party which is supposedly the one that stamped out the triad in the first place. The biased mental gymnastics is amazing...
Can you do a documentary on the Indian mafia? Especially Dawood Ibrahim? He has his hands in everything. From Bollywood to the internal politics of India
0:34 is wrong. chinese people don't call america 'gold mountain'. 旧金山 which literally translates to 'old gold mountain' is the chinese name for San Francisco.
You know Jake, for the next video you should make a video about the economy of the Ndrangheta, it's an Italian criminal organisation that is not well known but it's worth to be noticed.
@@Shinkajo Maybe but he knows a lot about Cosa Nostra, the Yakuza, the Russian mafia and even about the taxi mafia in South Africa so hopefully he might knew something about it.
Video about Chinese Mafia: shows some clips of Korean gangster movies and has a Korean actor for the thumbnail. Nonetheless, its still a good video. Good work!
Haha I think he just chose a bunch of video clips that look suitable, like I also recognise a few clips from Daredevil with people that aren't even East Asian
If you want a good videogame about Triads, Sleeping Dogs casts you as an ex-Sun On Yee member who moved to the US, became a cop, and is now sent back to infiltrate the clan and pull it all down. Along the story you help a red pole take over while basically wiping out the 14k.
Hi Jake, First and foremost, congrats for your great work in covering all of these subjects in your channel! Second: what's the music/theme we can hear from minute 2:05 to 2:30?
As a historian, the average 15 minute youtube "documentary" contains more information and is more accurate than probably 90% of full length history documentaries. Idk how it is on other subjects.
I know many could take this the wrong way, but this is actually a compliment: I’m not a big fan of this dudes personality, but I still watch his videos, because the quality is so high that I enjoy them anyway. Good shit!

I used to eat at a hole in the wall restaurant in Hawaii. They had an outdoor eating area where you could eat your plate lunch. I got to talking to a gal who worked there one day and she said she hated her job. I told her there was tons of work out there as Hawaii was booming at the moment. She looked back at the front desk inside the restaurant I guess to see if anyone was watching her and she said she couldn't leave. I realized she was basically working as a serf paying off her debt. I thought about reporting it but then I thought she would just get deported and probably get in trouble for talking. So I didn't report it but I never quit thinking about that woman. I hope her life worked out for her in the end.
It’s not even like that, you can work anywhere. Most Chinese do not fear the snakehead but rather as a service to come to America, if she couldn’t leave it wouldn’t be because of triad.

One of the main reason the Triads are still thriving while most of the other crime syndicates like the Cosa Nostra and The Yakuza are dead or dying is because of their discreet nature. While the other mafia groups was desperate for fame, Triads always prefers to be in shadows. They stay away from popular culture and that is the reason for their success.
The real reason is because the CCP is in bed with them

Jake makes the best documentaries on UA-cam, I do not understand why he doesn’t have a 1mil subs by now.
I wouldn't call these "documentaries".
He doesn't make any of the footage and uses only openly available sources which can be found without too much research, in comparison to actual documentaries. No insider- or deep knowledge.
I don't want to discredit him with that. He makes entertaining videos into which he puts a lot of work, but those are not "the best documentaries".
The valuable part is not the knowledge we get, which is not too much, but the presentation and structure.
This also requires good skills, but the skills and actions required for a video like this and a documentary are different for the most part.
Agree

I can clarify a bit, before China's rise after the reform and opening, the triads in the world were mostly cantonese(粵) and hokkien(閩). Mostly in HK, taiwan, south east asia and US, but after the china opened its gate to the others; it also opened the ways for other chinese gangs to involve in the world, so to this day chinese gangs are far more different from the 90s and 80s.
Would you say, today's Triads are more/or less violent than the 90s and early 2000s?

You left out the black dragon society (which is based in japan. Dating all the way back to ching dynasty [perhaps even earlier].) I believe reading that the organization changed the name several times. Is not an international syndicate.
@@guillotineblade999 weren't the Black Dragon Society ultranationalist Japanese who ingratiated themselves into far-right politics in Japan because of the Russo-Japanese war(s), govt found them useful in shady operations, which paved the way for high-ranking Yakuza doing the dirty work of and being on the payroll of, many latewar and postwar far-right politicians?

I’ve met quite a few who got smuggled into the US, I’ve never heard from any of them getting pushed into a container. It’s always on a ship, like all over the ship, it still sucked but it kinda seems like you didn’t do too much research on this one. Go to New York and talk to people in Chinatown to get the facts and not through movies and shows that over exaggerate everything. The snack heads in the east coast weren’t triads either, they formed their own gangs in America because no one wants to pay taxes to triads back in China or small offices in America that didn’t provide them with more protection than they can themselves.
Yeah I was wondering if they can just not pay back, wondering if maybe the mafia have some control or way to force people to pay, and you just answered that yes they can simply just not pay back debt and join a gang for protection
Thank you for the context. This video felt like it had less dedication and left questions unanswered unlike the other videos
It's not like he actually cares about accuracy. He wants to pump out seemingly shocking videos as fast as possible, while portraying himself as some sort of expert or insider. Like what are his sources even?
@@Shinkajo did you look at his sources? They are in his description
@@simonghoul3602 He's only pumping out content to make money, it's obvious with the amount of links to paid sponsors in the description.
As someone who has family members smuggled into the US and the UK many years ago and also met a number of foreigners smuggled into my country, I know for a fact that they usually just jump into a plane or ship rather than the cargo showed here. Living conditions can be poor for some, but not always the case and usually only appear poor compared to our comfortable living conditions, like how I'm typing from a new laptop I just bought while in my air-conditioned bedroom. There are many ways to do human trafficking, and it's not always as sensational as this video or news portals like to have you believe.

Sure they're into eccentric stuff, - but only for traditional reasons and not because they have some secret agenda.
The Vikings didn't attack monestaries because they were blood-sucking demons themselves, - but because the Catholic church had waged cultural war and massacred germanic peoples for a thousand years BEFOREHAND.
Similarly, the triads are not actively seeking to be villains - but simply trying to live their lives and maintain their traditions without being massacred or indoctrinated by a tyrannical warmachine.
Sure they require payment for their smuggling skills, - but only to have concrete incentive proof that those whom they smuggle won't snitch on them to governments, leading to their own persecution.

It's crazy that the Yakuza and triads both punish rule breakers by cutting off a pinky. They're so different from each other but both have the same punishment
The main reason, I heard, that it's done so because losing a pinky would hinder the sword wielding which in perspective would make you a worse warrior or smth.
