"What does it all mean? 'The leadership in Beijing openly states that there are 'good patriotic' Triads,' stated Timperlake. 'The merging of the Triads, financiers like Li Ka-Shing, and the leadership in Beijing is a nasty law enforcement problem. It is almost state-sponsored gangsterism.'" [Not "almost." It IS state-sponsored gangsterism.]"
Just like our deals with the Mafia. Soon you can't tell the good guys from the bad guys, because they're all the same.
