China's Link to Organized Crime
Rackets Podcast #29
This episode explores multiple notorious crime figures in South East Asia who have connections to the Chinese government. Some of them are members of China's United Front organizations, which are NGOs closely aligned with the CCP. There is an apparent mutually beneficial relationship in which these criminals are given freedom in exchange for their loyalty to the regime.
Also, the massive explosion in the global supply of fentanyl is no accident. China's government provides tax incentives to these manufacturers and, in some cases, these companies are owned by the state.
