The collapse of the Nationalist Chinese regime…
1956 CE
The collapse of the Nationalist Chinese regime in 1949 forces Shanghai's narcotics syndicate to flee to Hong Kong where they soon open heroin refineries.
The Green Gang, suffering reverses in a struggle for control of the colony's heroin trade against local syndicates, fades by the mid 1950s and is replaced by small syndicates of ethnic Chiu Chau criminals who trace their origins to nearby Swatow on China's south coast.
Employing the Green Gang's chemists, these new narcotic networks expand the colony's heroin consumption during the 1950s.
