After more than ten years of operation, Taiwanese gangs have already had considerable strength in the mainland, among which cities such as Xiamen, Fuzhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing have become the main areas where Taiwanese gangs gather.

Xiamen and Fuzhou in Fujian Province are closest to Taiwan, and have similar languages. They are the first choice for early Taiwanese underworld figures to establish strongholds. Many underworld elements used this place as their base camp to engage in legal and illegal commercial activities. Zhang Zhen, the boss of the repatriated "Fengqiao Gang", made his fortune here. Wu Tongtan, former president of the "Tiandao Alliance", bought a villa in Fuzhou City, spent a lot of money to decorate, and installed a remote-controlled fax system to directly contact the underworld brothers on the island. A leader of the "Songlian Gang" rented a three-bedroom and one-living house in Xiamen, and lived here for a long time.

Developing a gangster career. He said that he chose Xiamen as his hiding place because his lifestyle here is closer to Taiwan and he can also see TV shows in Taiwan. In recent years, several major financial disputes between Taiwanese gangs have chosen Xiamen, which is closer to Taiwan, as the negotiation site, and many major gangster murders have occurred here. For example, the boss of the "Songlian Gang" Qin Zhiwei and the boss of the "Sihai Gang" Yang Guangnan chose to negotiate in Xiamen to resolve the land financial disputes on the island. As a result, the negotiation failed and Qin was killed, which triggered a series of gangster revenge operations.

Shanghai is the base camp of modern Chinese gangs. After liberation, the gangs were completely eradicated in Shanghai. With the increase of investment in Taiwanese businessmen, a Taiwan area where Taiwanese businessmen live in concentrated areas appeared in Shanghai, and gang forces also secretly gathered, using this place as a major base for Taiwanese gangs to operate in the mainland.

Many Taiwanese gangsters engage in illegal activities under the guise of doing business. The three major gangs, "Sihai Gang", "Bamboo Alliance Gang" and "Tiandao Alliance" have many investment businesses in Shanghai, especially the "Sihai Gang" has developed the fastest. According to Taiwan media reports, 4 of the six backbone elements of the "Sihai Gang" are engaged in commercial activities in Shanghai. They not only invest in building factories and operating entertainment businesses, but also speculate in foreign exchange and stocks, and have strong economic strength. It is said that they also plan to move the headquarters of the "Sihai Gang" in Taiwan to Shanghai.

Taiwan gangsters who have been repatriated

On the evening of February 15, 1992, CCTV News Broadcast broadcast a sensational news: Zhang Zhen, the boss of the Taiwan gang organization "Fengqiao Gang", was arrested by our public security organs.

Zhang Zhen was born in Taiwan in 1950 and was the boss of the "Yingqiao Gang". He was guilty of attempted murder, forged documents, and theft. In the late 1980s, after he smuggled to the mainland, he first used Xiamen as a base and used business as a cover to carry out smuggling activities. He also made a fortune in planning and smuggling purple clay teapots made by two mainland celebrities. Later, he went to Beijing to develop, and quickly became famous under the care of a certain painter, and once became a "model citizen" in Beijing. Because he came to the mainland

He had a long history of relationships and had many relevant responsibilities for Taiwanese gangs who came to mainland China to do business, so he was named "gangster emperor". When Taiwan police learned that Zhang Zhen was behind, they issued a notice to the mainland through Interpol and the "Straits Foundation", demanding assistance in arrest and repatriation, and faxed Zhang Zhen's fingerprints, criminal record, wanted documents and other materials to the mainland. The mainland public security organs immediately launched an investigation, and after obtaining a large amount of conclusive evidence, they arrested him in early 1992 and deported him back to Taiwan.

Since the 1990s, the mainland has arrested many Taiwanese gangster figures, and the recently repatriated Yang Guangnan, the boss of the "Four Seas Gang", has attracted widespread attention. Yang Guangnan is the newly emerging gang leader after the "Four Seas Gang" Yang Weimin (dead in 1986 by Japanese gangsters), Chen Yonghe (shot killed in his own restaurant in Taipei in 1996) and Zhao Jinghua. He is called a "white-faced man" because of his handsome appearance. He was sent to Taiwan's Green Island Prison for many shootings. After being released from prison, Yang Guangnan helped a consortium resolve financial disputes and obtained a huge sum of money. Since then, he began to operate an underground bank, and his financial resources have become increasingly strong, and his status in the gang has rapidly increased. After the Taiwanese authorities launched a large-scale anti-gang operation, he left the mainland.

, and used Shanghai as the main activity base. In order to escape the wanted list of Taiwan police, he changed his nickname to "Da Ming". After the term of former gang leader Zhao Jinghua expired, the gang could not select a new gang leader for a while, so Yang Guangnan acted as deputy gang leader. In March 1999, he was drunk and troubled in a hotel, detained by Shanghai police, and then taken to Macau to repatriate. Just when the Taiwanese police were about to pick up people at the airport, Yang Guangnan was "robbed" by his accomplices of the "Sihai Gang". It is said that for this escape, he spent NT$25 million. On November 1, 2000, the "803" anti-organization crime task force of the Shanghai Criminal Police Corps arrested Yang Guangnan again in a restaurant. On December 6, Yang Guangnan was deported to Taiwan.

Although Yang Guangnan was taken back to Taiwan, the "Sihai Gang" he had operated in the mainland for many years had made great progress, and many companies had obtained legal corporate identities. Therefore, the power of the "Sihai Gang" was still difficult to eliminate.

Yang Dengkui is the "godfather" in Taiwan's film and television industry. He served as the chairman of the "Golden Horse Awards" judges and became famous for manipulating Taiwan's professional baseball gambling. In many anti-gang operations in Taiwan, he was listed as a "big brother" figure and was jailed on Green Island. In 1996, in order to avoid the pursuit of Taiwan's police, he stayed overseas in the name of doing business and inspecting. He first engaged in real estate business in Vancouver, Canada. Later, he went to the mainland with his friends to jointly operate the entertainment industry, invested in TV series, and purchased electricity.

The video channel operates a large-scale hotel and its career covers large and medium-sized cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Wuxi, Guangzhou, and Fuzhou. In early 1999, Yang Dengkui discovered that the mainland had also increased its surveillance and crackdown on the Taiwanese underworld, so he returned to Taiwan to surrender and was released after paying a deposit of NT$5 million. It is said that Yang Dengkui had exchange conditions with the Taiwanese authorities, so he was not sent to the Green Island Prison, which the underworld was most reluctant to go to. His career in the mainland was still managed by his subordinates.

Mainland China cracks down on gang forces

The activities of these gangsters in the mainland have seriously affected the public security in the mainland and threatened the safety of people's lives and property. On December 11, 2000, Comrade Luo Gan asked a devastating blow to various gangster forces at the special meeting of the "Sweeping Crime and Eliminating Evil" of the public security organs. Guangdong Province also launched a special operation code-named "Fox Hunting" in response to the prominent infiltration of gang forces in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and the outstanding cross-border criminal activities, and has achieved phased results.

Zheng Shaodong, deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, revealed that in the past month since the "Fox Hunting" operation was launched, police across the province have cracked 39 criminal cases involving the gangsters in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, arrested 849 criminal suspects, including 46 Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan personnel, and 7 wanted criminals by the police; 9 guns and 75 bullets were seized; 139 kilograms of drug heroin and 117.11 kilograms of methamphetamine were seized; 74 vehicles, 329 motorcycles and a batch of other crime tools were seized.
