But Vito, as you said, those Chinese you mention are not just straight up gangsters from the streets, at least not gangsters in the way that we know. They are former police, intelligence agents, or army these guys are or were an ACTUAL part of the Establishment, making infiltration far easier. Most Mafiosi dropped out of 3rd grade, were never cops or spies or military officers so the fact that they were/are able to achieve what they achieved is even more extraordinary in my opinion.
