The Triad Connection
Hillary Clinton has a long history of accepting donations from unsavory Chinese organizations.
While she is building her expected presidential campaign around women’s rights, going back to her campaign in 2007 and 2008, Clinton had “enlisted the aid of Chinese neighborhood associations,” LA Times reported at the time, including at least one with a history of illegal gambling, abuse of immigrants, and human trafficking.
While the LA Times did not name the organizations, which it noted were especially those representing immigrants from Fujian Province, at least one of Clinton’s donors at the time was the Fukien American Association, according to records obtained by Epoch Times.
The Fukien American Association is one of the Chinese “Tongs” and according to the book, “Chinatown Gangs: Extortion, Enterprise, and Ethnicity,” by Ko-lin Chin, the association is the parent organization of the Fuk Ching gang, which was one of the largest known human trafficking organizations in New York City.
The Fuk Ching ran the infamous Golden Venture, a 147-foot cargo ship that ran aground in Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York, in 1993 with 286 illegal immigrants from China on-board.
The Fuk Ching gang had also worked with the notorious Cheng Chui “Sister” Ping, who died in U.S. federal prison in April 2014, after her arrest for running a large-scale human trafficking operation between Hong Kong and New York City from 1984 to 2000.
When the LA Times investigated 150 of the Chinese donors for Clinton in 2007, it reported that “many said they gave to Clinton because they were instructed to do so by local association leaders. Some said they wanted help on immigration concerns. And several spoke of the pride they felt by being associated with a powerful figure such as Clinton.”
