Triad (organized crime)
A triad is one of many branches of Chinese transnational organized crime organizations based in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and also in countries with significant Chinese populations, such as the United States, Canada, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
==Etymology==
The term "Triad" was assumed to be coined by British authorities in colonial Hong Kong, as a reference to the triads' use of triangular imagery.〔Gertz, for the Washington Times. ''British authorities in colonial Hong Kong dubbed the groups triads because of the triangular imagery.''〕 While never proven, it has been speculated that triad organizations either took after, or were originally part of revolutionary movements such as the White Lotus Society,〔''Triad Societies''page 4〕 the Taiping Rebellion, the Boxer Rebellion, and the Heaven and Earth Society.
