Yamaguchi Group is the largest gang in Japan, headquartered in Kobe. According to conservative statistics, there are currently about 85,000 gangsters in Japan, and Yamaguchi Group accounts for 40%. It is conceivable how powerful it is. Taiwanese friend Mr. Jiang told reporters that in the past, the news about Yamaguchi Group on the island was all international crime cases. This is the first time they appeared in the election campaign team. The collusion between Taiwan and Japan has been a long time.

According to Mr. Jiang, the Yamaguchi group had been colluding with Taiwanese gangs and infiltrated all aspects of the island society very early. After the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Japanese ronin often went to Taipei Zhongshan District, and Zhongshan District was the traditional sphere of influence of the Niupu Gang. The Yamaguchi Group and the Niupu Gang have always had a close relationship. In July 2003, the Niupu Gang boss Zhang Naifu was held for public sacrifice, and the scene was huge. The Taiwanese police specially assigned a team to collect evidence on site, and found that a group of Japanese Yamaguchi members were worshiping in front of the spirit. Ten years ago, Liu Weimin, the boss of the Taiwan Four Seas Gang, brought people to Tokyo and established contact with the Yamaguchi Group. When the Yamaguchi members arrived in Taiwan, he would drive a Cadillac luxury car and personally take his subordinates to the airport to greet him, which was very grand.

In recent years, the Japanese police have increased their efforts to crack down on gangs. The Yamaguchi group immediately changed the situation of dominating only at home and transformed to internationalization. The relationship with the Taiwan gangsters has become increasingly close. At present, Taiwan has become an important base for the Yamaguchi group to make money overseas. The two gangs joined forces to engage in drug trafficking, arms smuggling, operating underground money shops, and engaged in illegal money laundering. It can be said that several major cases in Taiwan this year are more or less related to the Yamaguchi group. In May, Yamaguchi Kei, the "No. 1 Japanese money launderer" was arrested in Taiwan. He led the largest gang money laundering case in Japanese history, with an amount of up to 4.6 billion yen. In June, the Taiwan police and Japan and relevant Philippine departments

The group joined forces to arrest an important member of the Yamaguchi group, Chin-kun, in the suburbs of Manila, and seized a large number of arms. After investigation, it was found that Chin-kun had negotiated a black gun deal of up to $100,000 with the Taiwan Bamboo Alliance. In July, the Taiwanese police dispatched hundreds of people and fired 3,000 bullets, but still did not arrest the major wanted criminal Zhang Ximing, and it was not arrested until October. According to his accomplices, most of Zhang Ximing's powerful firepower came from the Yamaguchi group. In October, Yan Haoan, the leader of the Taiwan branch of the Yamaguchi group, was arrested in Taiwan. He illegally operated a pornographic satellite channel and made a profit of up to NT$100 million (NT$4 is about NT$100 million).

At the same time, the Yamaguchi group is also intensifying its infiltration into Taiwan's political circles. Taiwanese people love face and like to invite Japanese to stand up when they hold events. Now some "legislators" candidates have also used this trick. For example, Zeng Cai Meizu, who withdrew from the Kuomintang to run independently, has to work hard on her own because she lost the support of the party. In her constituency, 18 candidates compete for 6 seats, and the competition is very fierce. She traveled thousands of miles to invite Yamaguchi's people to help, just to attract the attention of voters and boost her momentum. This also hits the Yamaguchi group's wishes. They carefully selected 6 members and led the team by the largest "dogun" - the president of the Furukawa Association.

Underworld intervenes in Taiwan politics

Of course, the most fundamental reason why Japanese gangs can intervene in the island election is Taiwan's deep-rooted "gangster politics". Especially during the Lee Teng-hui period, they have been using gang forces to consolidate their rule. While infiltrating the economic and social fields, Taiwanese gangs also vigorously participated in political activities to legally cover up illegality and expand illegally.
