Chinese is set in 1970 at a Chinese restaurant named Orientals. It is seemingly the hideout/rendezvous of a gang, and Lt. Christine Malone and Det. Harry Tipper must investigate. All the members of staff are hostile in this mission, so it could be assumed that they are all part of the gang. It is widely assumed that Mr. Big is in-charge of the Chinese gang, although this is not officially set in stone.
