> The Chinatown political machine ensures that they get the lion’s share of the benefits

That headline is bolded. Use of the word "they" suggests to me more than one leader.

Maybe it's just a cultural thing, (I'm in the UK) but this next paragraph feels weird, almost xenophobic. It's the kind of thing that only fringe politicians would say.

> But I’m sure that the camera shops, trinket stands, and street-side produce markets of Chinatown are the ones providing the city with most of its tax, jobs, and commerce income.
