Mr Wong, do you think Joey Tai is
responsible for the death of your father?
1:00:15
I want my lawyer!

Captain Stanley White,
commander of the Fifth Precinct,
1:00:38
has declared war on Chinatown.
Today there were 43 gang arrests,
1:00:42
three gambling parlours raided,
six sweatshops busted.
1:00:45
In an opening blow at the man they call
the godfather of Chinatown, Joey Tai,
1:00:51
White has padlocked his restaurant
on a health violation.
1:00:54
A crackdown is in the works. Although
District Attorney Jane Katzman denies it,
1:00:59
a major drug conspiracy case
is rumoured to be pending
1:01:02
against various respected older members
of the Chinatown ruling elite.
1:01:07
Mr Tai, can you tell us if there is
such a thing as the Chinese Mafia?
1:01:11
Sounds very exciting, like a comic book.
1:01:14
The existence of Triads is documented
by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
1:01:18
Documentation without proof.
1:01:20
This farce is evidence of the consistent
discrimination against Chinese.
1:01:26
Mr Tai, are you saying there is no
criminal element in all of Chinatown?
1:01:30
Of course not.
1:01:32
But why do you media people insist on
emphasising this Charlie Chan image?
1:01:37
Why not talk about
the chair in Chinese History
1:01:40
our association
has endowed at Yale University?
1:01:43
Or our $12 million fund
for our 10,000 members?
1:01:47
Our free meals for the aged
and the unemployed?
1:01:49
Free burial, things like that?
Positive things.
1:01:54
Mr Tai, what is your comment on Jackie
Wong? Do you have any comment?
