| Summary/Abstract |
his article revisits the continued existence of organised crime within the Chinese community, with particular reference to snakeheads and the trafficking or smuggling of illegal migrants. This article begins by exploring the history of Chinese organised crime within the United Kingdom and situates its continued existence within an ever more diverse 'Chinese community'. It then draws on research involving three sets of qualitative data: one set is based on 60 interviews with law enforcement personnel based in China and the United Kingdom as well as key stakeholders within the Chinese community; the other set is based on structured questionnaires issued to 25 Chinese residents currently illegally residing in the United Kingdom; the final set is a review of the five free Chinese newspapers analysed over a 2-week period for relevant advertisements relating to migration. It then explores the mechanisms which enable illegal migrants to obtain criminal employment and discusses the motivations of those involved.

| Summary/Abstract |
With the growing global importance of China, Chinese organised crime has become a growing non-military threat to national and international security. Peng Wang focuses on the three dimensions of Chinese organised crime: the resurgence of the criminal underworld and rampant police corruption in mainland China; cross-border crime in Greater China; and Chinese organised crime overseas, including in the UK. The national, regional and international threats posed by ethnic-Chinese criminal groups require the law-enforcement agencies of both China and those countries hosting Chinese communities to improve their response strategies as a matter of urgency.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the last issue of the RUSI Journal, the article series on transnational organised crime and security focused on a case study, looking at the challenge posed by drugscartels in Mexico and providing us with a compelling view on how organised crime can threaten the security fabric of a single country. In this issue, Peng Wang takes a similar in-depth approach to a case study, with a minutely detailed assessment of the resurgence of Chinese organised crime over the last two decades. His analysis breaks down this increasingly worrying phenomenon into three overlapping levels, scrutinising the activities of criminal organisations with mainland China, the cross-border criminal flows in the Greater China region and ethnic-Chinese organised crime in the UK. This three-level study captures the intricacies of the transnational, globalised nature of these groups' structures and networks, providing a useful resource for those wishing to better understand how Chinese organised crime flourishes at home and overseas, and how it can be countered.
