From Fujian to Flushing: Chinese Criminal Networks in the Americas and Beyond

This paper builds on the 2023 FIU report, providing even more of an in-depth analysis of Chinese criminal activities throughout the Western Hemisphere, including the United States and Canada. In this second volume, our team focused on who the groups and individuals are and how they carry out illicit activities. Partnering with the California-based law firm Enso Law, we conducted an extensive literature review, read dozens of news articles and think tank reports, reviewed California police records, and interviewed several current and former U.S. and international law enforcement agents, as well as a California-based Chinese-American community organization.
