The Big Circle Gang is a Chinese triad which was established in Hong Kong in the 1970's. They were given the moniker "Big Circle Gang" and were formed by former members of the Red Guards, a paramilitary organization established by Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution. After Mao eventually ordered a crackdown on the Red Guards using the People's Liberation Army (PLA), many former members of the organization were imprisoned in China. However, some former Red Guards fled as refugees to Hong Kong, where they "turned their military prowess to crime", according to a Canadian court record, forming the triad known as the Big Circle Gang. The triad now thrives among the unregulated factories and underground banks of Guangdong, and especially in the city of Guangzhou; they were nicknamed the "B

  • Le Grand Cercle est l'une des six plus grandes triades chinoises. Contrairement aux autres triades, fondées en Chine continentale avant la révolution, pourchassées par les communistes et obligées de migrer vers Hong Kong, Macao ou Taïwan avant de revenir s'implanter plus tard sur le continent, le Grand Cercle a été fondée en Chine communiste à la fin des années 1960 par d'anciens gardes rouges. Moins implantée à travers le monde que les cinq autres triades, elle est néanmoins présente aux Philippines, en Amérique du Nord et dans quelques pays d'Europe, mais c'est au Canada qu'elle est la plus active, plus précisément dans les grandes villes de Vancouver et de Toronto. Le Grand Cercle est d'ailleurs le groupe criminel d’origine chinoise le plus actif au Canada. (fr)
