ATLAS ANALYSIS - Sun Yee On
from Modern Insurgent
Sun Yee On (新義安), or the New Righteousness and Peace Commercial and Industrial Guild, is the largest and ostensibly most powerful triad society in the world. By some estimates, the organization has more than 55,000 members across the world, making it nearly twice as large as the Hong Kong Police Force. Like most triads, the Sun Yee On is based in Hong Kong, but also operates in mainland China. Triads are Chinese organized crime groups, most often based in Hong Kong. Unlike many Western organized crime groups, such as the Italian mafia, triads are not necessarily organized in a strict hierarchy. In this episode, our host Joey speaks to Jeff Hanrahan once again about the triad. One of the most interesting episodes to date, where we explore its hierarchies, internal dynamics, and cultural ties.
