The japanese guys were super nice to me even tho i was young at the time and the worst worker too. good times working with the asian guys. they really welcome u in like famiky and love eating all together
I am a regular watcher of Mac .. this was nice to see. The shock of him finding out his Father was the Head of the Flying Dragons , was dope to see ... I'm sure he wishes things were different. Ether way, Mac is a SOLID individual! Viewing from Toronto, Canada
I bet china mac started to realize why he was being looked out for so well and maybe one day he'll try to understand why his father did what he had to do
As a mexican and you get invited to a asian family and one of these guys become your sworn brother. It opens alot of doors. I like the similarities between our cultures, my sworn brother kept me out of alot of trouble. We been brothers for over 15 years, nothing but love.
Incredible interview. Huge respect to CMac and his sturggle. Its beautiful to see him growing in the right direction these days. Cant wait to hear more Cmac interviews and stories of his father. Respect and blessings.
Appreciate this history and interview. I’ve been training in Chinatown for over 20 years and have always had a fascination with its history . This is amazing history thank you for this 🙏🏽
I’m from Mainland China, and just watched the entirety of the video. Thanks for this fascinating interview helping me know China Mac more in terms of his childhood and upbringing. Since I was born in 1984, under the sign of Mouse, presumably around the same time he’s born, I can’t help but be amazed by the fact that we had totally different trajectories of life as I was always the A student and went through the supposedly normal route: Go to university, find a stable job, get married and have kids. But I still feel like somethings is missing since I never like the office politics, and fed up with all the phonies trying to get ahead by all means possible . But I like him. No matter how drastically different our life choices seems to be, what really matters is what kind of person you are. And in China Mac, I see someone genuine, and being a genuine person myself I have nothing but respect. I just cannot help thinking in some parallel universes, I could be him or he could be me. Anyway, great channel and keep more videos coming.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I understand what you said. In a parallel world, it could happen. There are many good kids that come from China but NYC Chinatown environment could alter their trajectory in life. We all play our parts in this play.
@@yogitam2372🤝 Please to elaborate on the Chinatown environment part. I’m very curious because as a Chinese growing up in the mainland what we heard about Chinatown is drastically different from what’s actually going down.
Thank you for everything you guys do in this channel. My Chinese taiwanese uncle spent a lot of time over there during those days, doing business. Much respect
When he told him about his father, it got real deep real quick. I can only imagine how many questions mac must have at this point but not everything is for everyone and I hope things are revealed with discretion.
So much respect for Mac. Been following him ever since the first Vlad interview. Also, shout out to the channel for interviewing the fella "Diamond".. i'm Guyanese by parentage so was happy to see that. Love fron the U.K!!!
Thank you for interviewing Mac 哥哥! I learned some new stuff here about his past gang life. Mac 哥哥 is mad brave even when he was a kid. He protected his 老大!
@@chinatowngangstories can you explain that ending a bit because that means his father was the actual leader of Flying Dragons and not Onion Head? I'm a bit confused.
I like this style of setup for interviews the best. You can visually see & hear both participants of the interview. You can see the body language & emotions when they are speaking. With just the camera on the person being interviewed, I feel you miss a lot. Also Mike was great in letting China Mac finish speaking and not rushing the questions. Great cadence and timing in the interview & letting subject react.
Damn the reveal in the end was like a movie scene. Cause at first China Mac thought onion head or machine gun Johnny had the power the whole time but it was his own father that was the real big man behind the whole thing.
@@babyfood9537 no I’m saying it’s crazy because every thought machine gun Johnny was the big boss until Mike cleared it up and it’s all over RUclips MGJ was the boss that what I was saying it doesn’t even china macs dad was the boss in all these RUclips videos even when MGJ fled to Hong Kong so china macs dad is alive somewhere
I grew up in NYC fearing and hating the gangs but this really humanizes them and show them in a different perspective. I am not going to say that they are nice people, but things are always more complex than they seem.
Same here. I grew up in the Chicago area and as a child i was afraid of the Filipinos, Vietnamese, Cambodian gang members. But as i got older, i realize we need more Asian unity like when we were younger
This popped up because follow China Mac, but I'm sure glad this did. I really enjoy this channel and your story telling is great. I grew up in Boston and trained in martial arts at the Chinese Benevolent Society in the early 90's. I'll tell you right now, it was one of those, "you had to know someone" to get in type of places back then. And most of the teens that trained there, were family of gangs. I was definitely naïve as a kid and just thought it was cool to learn authentic Chinese Kungfu. I hung out with a few Vietnamese kids from there and there was some big gang war type of killings, then my parents didn't allow me to go back there. Good times though and the stuff I saw and heard was right out of a movie. This channel brings back memories.
Wow.....I was gripped when China Mac was talking but that last 10 seconds when Micheal Moy spoke my body shuddered. Like he brought a ghost back for real for real. I hope part 2 is out. Going to check now.
China Mac's story and Kenny's story is so incredibly fascinating. These are stories told first hand from people directly involved in Chinatown's historical underworld. Some deep gangster drama... Kenny joined the Ghosts Shadows because he loved his dad so much. China Mac joined the Ghost Shadows because he hated his dad so much.
This was awesome to see especially with everyone constantly asking questions about china Mac when the ghost shadows get brought up. Much love and respect! I love this channel
Much respect for this channel. 100 percent Real life. You don't see many of us giving interviews bcuz why expose ourselves as this person. Real ones move in silent. If u out the game then cool. Tell your story but if u still active. Stay 🤫
Much love from Australia ❤️ Been a big supporter of China Mac since he first came home and done his 1st interview with Vlad, also being a big supporter of this channel since coming out. Can definitely tell from Macs eyes and expression at the end after Mike dropped that bomb it hit home. Keep doing your great work and most definitely need more interviews with Mac and maybe other OGs from Ghost Shadows like Kenny 💪🏽
I’ve always liked China Mac, well the last like 5-7 years that I’ve been seeing him on RUclips. This really shows how deep and connected he was! This was dope
Big respect for this channel! I love watching these videos. I myself been in gangs since I was 8 years old in 1988.I grew up thinking I was Laotian but then I had slanted eyes and people used to tease me that I was Chinese. Growing up I was from the project and fought Chinese gang members from kung fu school to the lion dance club run by the Tongs. One day I found out that my pops and ma was not my real parents . My mom was Thai Chinese and my real dad was 100% Chinese from Malaysia but ancestors came from fujian. I was 12 years old in 1992 when my Dai-Lo walked in my house without knocking and told me to come with him and one of my home boys I was already in a gang with . They took me to a temple and told me to get in my boxers. They said they were gonna be mh new family and to wanted to enlist me into their gang. I seen too many movies so I was smart not to ask questions because I wanted that life all the money and fast cars with women. Short story short a lot of the Dinosaurs call me the Self Made Dragon because I rose the ranks to where I am today. I am a retired Businessman a millionaire. I am a Legend in the streets of Hawaii to the mainland. I am glad to see some of my Chinese brothers that lived that same life I lived no matter where you came from the Gang life is real and no joke . People under estimate us . I enjoyed this show . I have no one to talk to or tell the story to lol . I still have some loyal mens with me that follows me and help with all my businesses but once in a while we sit down and reminisce on the old days and all my fighting on the streets to being who I am today! I appreciate you Dailo Michael Moy. It’s good to let our people know or the world to know that we do exist .and we do not need to cover our heads with a shirt no more we can hold our head high and say we are Men of Honor.
You were famous in the streets of Hawaii? Oh shit so you at least know of Pork skin jimmy and red finger johnny they were king pins in Hawaii's Chinese community in the 80s and 90s.
This video spoke volumes. Doesn't matter your background or race. Nyc is, was and will be a mother to live in. From the early settlers till today. Ive followed china mac for years when he had a chip tooth rapping till now, good on him for changing himself and the gentlemen, the host also himself was apart of the gangs in New york to become a police officer. This is proof people could change for the better. Im not asian but a fellow new yorker of Spanish decent. Can't wait to see next up coming episodes
feels like learning about the underground history, people have their own struggle and their own way to cope and find meaning to it. whether the history of the person is good or bad, we should embrace the experience and know the culture. I always had the idea that a lot of things in life are random, born 10 years earlier and would had end up being a gang member. Born 10 years later and would had less of a struggle and gotten thru college.
A lot of my OGs loved me as well. I was always down but very respectful. When you’re in that world, knowing when to speak, and when not to, gets you a lot of respect. Back in the 2000s was crazy man, shit used to be active.
I used to do business (not drugs) with Chinese in Vancouver, Canada from 2014 to 2019... and they protected our crew during some tense situations. Those sit-downs are real. I also remember being invited (me and the crew) to a very nice diner in a chinese restaurant, where we had bottles of liquor and mountains of fried pigeon and chicken to eat. It was so surreal to see a couple of white boys sitting down with a bunch of old chinese guys dressed in silk suits with gold jewelry. Thinking back on this, I have no idea what Chinese gang I was doing business with.. but they always treated me very well, never tried to rip me off, and also protected us from other jealous crews that didn't like to see us succeed. On the other hand, I seen Chinese street drug dealers get beat up by their own people for using the product themselves.. mid-day on a busy street. They don't care. Scary shit.
Funny story about a sitdown with a Chinese businessman who had no affiliates to Chinese triads but brought two huge bouncers to a room on centre Street. One was Puerto Rican and one was Black. I don't think they were expecting 12 of us with guns. The big black guy started to shake and I had to calm him down 😂 I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "calm down big man, nothing is going to happen to you, we're just having a talk" He was so thankful for that at the end of the talks
I'm past my young adult years now, but growing up there were those around me who were enticed into joining local gangs on the west coast like Wah Ching and Big Circle. Was even asked once if I'd like to join, but I realized I was more content staying home to play video games and watching some HK Triad movies. Later studied engineering and am working as a software engineer now, but part of me always felt the gang life had this mysterious, dangerous, masculine aura about it. I essentially think a lot of social interactions come down to power and status, regardless of what the context is. Any argument that goes really wrong can only be resolved by either running away or a fight. The gang life is a very raw, unfiltered version of that, and that's why its so fascinating, much more so than how someone succeeded in academics or shit like that, because sheltered guys like myself wouldn't last a minute on the streets with just book smarts (if any). Which is why this is the content I like most now, maybe its what a younger version of me wants to see and be able to "live vicariously". To put it bluntly, part of me wishes I was closer to the action when I was younger, but I was too pussy, and now can only watch this kind of content from the comfort of my sheltered life. And I suppose I made the right choices. I think I found out about Mac through some content related to MC Jin, I grew up speaking Cantonese at home, and moved to NYC not too long ago, so all of this is great content. Thank you and keep up the good work.
@@AlienOmertaTV his pops and onion head were splitting huge shipments. They were the main distributors. Not sure there was really a hierarchy between them at the time.
It's was was hard to be Asian back then even today. Not just the whites being racist to Asians but also other minoritiess racist to them too....which is never made sense to me. I thought all minorities should of stuck together.
@@teovu5557 absolutely I had to watch my back from wh1tes and bl@cks. Now we are older and it's time for us to speak our truth about the American experience
This Channel is def gonna grow. It’s different! No other channel like it. Why? Because it’s on Chinese Gangs❗️ only thing is that the interviewer needs to step it up just a bit and be more on point with the questions and interview in general. But shoutout CHINA MAC❗️
Wow this is like watching a movie you should consider it like seriously or writing a book this is too good content for only RUclips any ways love from Toronto Canada we definitely taped in now shout our to you and china mac hope yall get your just dues for all the shit yall been thru no cap I'm a subscribe right now💯
The UK had a very heavy Triad presence in the 90s to 2000s, some well documented gangs and dangerous mainlanders, hope you can get plugged in over here too, your channel is very interesting.
This shit fascinates me. I went to culinary school near NY Chinatown in the early 90's (+had been going all through there since a decade+ earlier). It was obvious serious things were going on but it was still such a cool place to go through.
I've never seen China Mac this nervous before in an interview. He can't exaggerate or talk slanguistics with this gentleman like he does with other youtubers
This was pretty interesting to hear about the Ghost Shadows. I believe my uncle was in the Ghost Shadows. I know he was pretty high ranked, he was the leader of the Chicago faction back in the 80s.
@@chinatowngangstories when I was a kid, the guys would just call him "ah sing gaw". I do remember some of his members names Ping, fei gai (fat chicken), his brother fei zyu (fat pig), chu yun (superman). Those were the ones I remembered. I was probably about 8 years old at the time.
This is awesome for china mac to be able to sit down with one of the elders. I love listening to these true life stories. As a kid I remember my father would take me and my brother to the theatre to watch king fu movies in the mid 80’s and ever since then I still watch them, I have a big respect for the Chinese culture 🫡

Thinking back on this, I have no idea what Chinese gang I was doing business with.. but they always treated me very well, never tried to rip me off, and also protected us from other jealous crews that didn't like to see us succeed.
On the other hand, I seen Chinese street drug dealers get beat up by their own people for using the product themselves.. mid-day on a busy street. They don't care. Scary shit.
Vancouver likely big circle gang.
Funny story about a sitdown with a Chinese businessman who had no affiliates to Chinese triads but brought two huge bouncers to a room on centre Street. One was Puerto Rican and one was Black. I don't think they were expecting 12 of us with guns.
The big black guy started to shake and I had to calm him down 😂
I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "calm down big man, nothing is going to happen to you, we're just having a talk"
He was so thankful for that at the end of the talks
Black dude shoulda known the Puerto Rican had his back…
Puerto Rican was like…
Another day at the office🤣
❤️🔥
@@KY-YE yeah he would I've had his back untill it's a situation with purto Ricans...
they dont eat pigeon's. lol
Wow - incredibly powerful. Great interview.
Nothing but respect for Mac 🫡
To hear his story of sleeping in closets and hallways to now making moves and big waves ✊🏽
#GoodFortune 🙌🏼
I'm past my young adult years now, but growing up there were those around me who were enticed into joining local gangs on the west coast like Wah Ching and Big Circle. Was even asked once if I'd like to join, but I realized I was more content staying home to play video games and watching some HK Triad movies. Later studied engineering and am working as a software engineer now, but part of me always felt the gang life had this mysterious, dangerous, masculine aura about it.
I essentially think a lot of social interactions come down to power and status, regardless of what the context is. Any argument that goes really wrong can only be resolved by either running away or a fight. The gang life is a very raw, unfiltered version of that, and that's why its so fascinating, much more so than how someone succeeded in academics or shit like that, because sheltered guys like myself wouldn't last a minute on the streets with just book smarts (if any). Which is why this is the content I like most now, maybe its what a younger version of me wants to see and be able to "live vicariously". To put it bluntly, part of me wishes I was closer to the action when I was younger, but I was too pussy, and now can only watch this kind of content from the comfort of my sheltered life. And I suppose I made the right choices.
I think I found out about Mac through some content related to MC Jin, I grew up speaking Cantonese at home, and moved to NYC not too long ago, so all of this is great content. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Asian with attitude remember that bro
Pussycat live longer bro... at least u know yourself from a young age
Need a Part 2 Flying Dragon With China Mac story
Absolutely amazing video once again!!
Great interviews as always 👌
Thx Winston! Always glad to see you around!
@@chinatowngangstories always a pleasure supporting this channel 🙌
Mac would wear an onion head shirt. This was a solid interview. Rewatching some of these interviews and seeing Mac dissecting his life. Wild!
I subscribed after this interview
This shit is a movie
Thanks. Be sure to check out other videos on this channel, each character on this channel has a very unique story and background.
this is really cool- i hope this channel flourishes- honestly i think it can get better - talk more ask more tell more and then edit
Boston Massachusetts is rocking with you and your channel! 💪🏼 keep it going
Thank you! We love Boston!
Thumbs up! So his father was the big boss, not Onionhead. What a way to end the video! We're staying tuned for part 2 whenever that arrives.
Crazy right? Mac would say his dad was the second in rank/ right hand man or somthing.
Onionhead is machine gun Johnny I guarantee his dad is still alive in china
@@manchuk1d Yeah he thought his dad was 2nd in command cause his pops told on Onion Head (Usually the 2nd tells on the boss not the other way round)
@@AlienOmertaTV kinda reminds me of the whole John Gotti and sammy the bull situation back then.
@@AlienOmertaTV his pops and onion head were splitting huge shipments. They were the main distributors. Not sure there was really a hierarchy between them at the time.
China Mac is a true prince of Chinatown NYC.
Clown 😂 he remembers diapers and most of his fights are when he's 12 - 13. That's the bar for these clowns. hahahaha what a joke.
This was really insightful, good interview
Dope to hear these stories, knew a lot of these dudes from Chinatown Fair.
This was a great interview
After dropping the flying dragon surprise… mac was stunned
Awesome video I'm not Asian but I know what it's like to be considered an other in the 90s. Keep putting out the great vids
It's was was hard to be Asian back then even today. Not just the whites being racist to Asians but also other minoritiess racist to them too....which is never made sense to me. I thought all minorities should of stuck together.
@@teovu5557 absolutely I had to watch my back from wh1tes and bl@cks. Now we are older and it's time for us to speak our truth about the American experience
This Channel is def gonna grow. It’s different! No other channel like it. Why? Because it’s on Chinese Gangs❗️ only thing is that the interviewer needs to step it up just a bit and be more on point with the questions and interview in general. But shoutout CHINA MAC❗️
I went to IS 237 also lol. Whack school, moved to Bayside and transferred to IS 25. Great interview! Never knew Mac was around Onionhead growing up.
This was very Good..Salute
Wow this is like watching a movie you should consider it like seriously or writing a book this is too good content for only RUclips any ways love from Toronto Canada we definitely taped in now shout our to you and china mac hope yall get your just dues for all the shit yall been thru no cap I'm a subscribe right now💯
Great to see this ❤
Idk how i missed this interview with Mac, if you notice his body language he was kinda taken back after he was told who it was! Much respect for both.
The UK had a very heavy Triad presence in the 90s to 2000s, some well documented gangs and dangerous mainlanders, hope you can get plugged in over here too, your channel is very interesting.
Thanks for your support.
I could watch this over again over again
You can see that China Mac really respects the OG!
Absolutely fantastic video thank you.
Part 2???? been a year already OG!!
This shit fascinates me. I went to culinary school near NY Chinatown in the early 90's (+had been going all through there since a decade+ earlier). It was obvious serious things were going on but it was still such a cool place to go through.
We need a follow up on this.. ended too fast..
There’s a different kind of level of respect in this interview 💯🫡
This is a damn good channel.
Amazing content, 1 love from Scotland peace..
Badass interview !!
Where’s the full interview ????? Can’t end it on a cliff hanger like that lol
Subscribed. Much respect
It’s about time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've never seen China Mac this nervous before in an interview. He can't exaggerate or talk slanguistics with this gentleman like he does with other youtubers
There’s a time n place
Keep up the great work Mac u giving Hope to the underdogs
Mikey Moy was always a gentleman with me. Nice guy. Chill. Laid back.
Wow! Can’t wait for more vids
This was pretty interesting to hear about the Ghost Shadows. I believe my uncle was in the Ghost Shadows. I know he was pretty high ranked, he was the leader of the Chicago faction back in the 80s.
Do you know the street name of your Uncle?
@@chinatowngangstories when I was a kid, the guys would just call him "ah sing gaw". I do remember some of his members names Ping, fei gai (fat chicken), his brother fei zyu (fat pig), chu yun (superman). Those were the ones I remembered. I was probably about 8 years old at the time.
VERY COOL ENDING!
This is awesome for china mac to be able to sit down with one of the elders. I love listening to these true life stories. As a kid I remember my father would take me and my brother to the theatre to watch king fu movies in the mid 80’s and ever since then I still watch them, I have a big respect for the Chinese culture 🫡
Maybe that’s why China Mac dad wasn’t around him and his mom a lot because of his position and wanted to keep his family safe?
They weren't a family. Never married her. He had another wife and kids he spend time with.
