"The Tong wars ripped through San Fierro's Chinatown a world controlled by the Blood Brotherhood whose dynasty of assassination, extortion, vendetta, gambling, prostitution and mayhem exploded just south of the Gant Bridge. A hell so violent that nothing short of an earthquake could end it"

"In addition to the ties between Chinatown gangs and the tongs, connections have also been made to the Triads that originated as revolutionaries during China’s Qing dynasty. While many Chinatown street gangs appear to not have been strongly affiliated with the Triads when they arose in the 1970s, in the 1980s and 1990s it is thought that these affiliations began to solidify largely due to human trafficking and the lucrative drug trade from Asia with narcotics such as heroin. Ties have been documented between North American gangs and Chinese Triads in East and Southeast Asia, but it is unclear to what extent these exist. Nevertheless, like with the tongs there has been much speculation of transnational criminal conspiracies within the U.S. media and criminal justice system. At times this speculation has been sensationalized to paint portraits of vast and sinister undergrounds in Chinatowns, reminiscent of the historical exoticization and demonization of Chinese and Asians as the evil ‘Yellow Peril.’"
