PRC. Recent declines in the engagement <strong>of</strong> HK business in Guangdong,<br />
especially manufacturing, and the increased interest in land development in<br />
the previously restricted ‘Frontier Closed Area’ in the New Territories may<br />
also herald further shifts in the fortunes and scope <strong>of</strong> HK urban-based<br />
criminal entrepreneurs and the triads or dark societies on either side <strong>of</strong> the<br />
border that thrive on the demand for illicit services and goods. More than<br />
ever before the task <strong>of</strong> countering the triad and the growth <strong>of</strong> serious crime<br />
depends on the concerted efforts <strong>of</strong> the public security authorities in greater<br />
China.<br />
