History
The Red Dragon Clan were a Yakuza syndicate who were organized into Tongs and were led by Lord Shiro. It was involved in drugs, weapons, prostitution, and assassinations. Years ago, a renegade faction of the Red Dragon was attempting to expand their operations in NY City.
The warriors of the Red Dragon Clan were fierce fighters, who were well-trained and disciplined. Iron Fist and the Daughters of the Dragon were recruited by the F.B.I. to help them protect a former Red Dragon turned FBI informant against a renegade faction of the Red Dragons.[2]Notes
It appears that the writers / editors got the Japanese and Chinese underworlds mixed up. There are no "Tongs" in Japanese society, either legitimate Tongs or criminal Tongs. The lodges known as "Tongs" are part of Chinese culture, and can be either legitimate business lodges, criminal lodges (Triads), legitimate community lodges, criminally-influenced business lodges, or political lodges (revolutionary secret societies).
