* Let's be honest. If Ling was really the Lee Family's Master of Arms, how she was so easily killed by a thuggish Spanish Lord? Shouldn't she have carried her gun with her or shot the Spanish Lord first while insulting her and Huang? Or did she really underestimate those Spanish lords?
* Are there any reasons for which why in the Characters list was Chan listed as a CreepyCrossdresser? I have played this game many times and I don't recall any scene in which Chan appears wearing women's clothing. I remember Rudy D'Avanzo turning up to be a crossdresser, but not Chan, even if he had an obsession with transgender companions.
* Even before the day of the street circuit race, how the champion didn't notice that his car had been sabotaged? Immediately after Huang sabotaged it, the car was already malfunctioning and Huang had some troubles into driving it back to the Pay 'n' Spray where the car was going to be picked up by a truck. The champion could have easily avoided a fiery death if he had bothered to check his car first.
* When Melanie betrays Chan and decides to air her drug documentary without censoring the faces and names of Huang and Chan, Chan sends Huang to Channel 15 to kidnap Melanie and destroy her documentary. Huang does so, kills the security guards and Melanie's cameraman and Melanie is executed by Chan at the end, but how this means that Melanie didn't show the footage to the channel executives first? They can still report to the police about Chan's and Huang's involvement in their disappeared reporter's documents!
* When the Spanish Lords trick Chan into stealing a sabotaged speedboat of them to ambush him on Liberty City's seas, why the Spanish Lords just focused on shooting at the speedboat rather than at Chan himself? Surely this has something to do with game mechanics......
* Hsin requests Huang to execute one of Chan's former henchmen who is now working as a FIB informant and asks him to shoot him from afar so the police can't put two and two and connect him to the crime, but, hello? Huang is just shooting the target from a second floor balcony at the same zone where the informant is walking!!! It's not like Huang isn't spotted or anything, and he does get a 3-star wanted level anyway.

It's not like Huang isn't spotted or anything, and he does get immediately gains a 3-star wanted level anyway.after the successful shot and is forced to evade the authorities, flushing all elements of stealth in the toilet.



* Why Chan and Zhou, when Huang came to kill them respectively, didn't think on using their vehicles to escape while Huang was distracted? In Chan's case, he could have taken his car and drive away while Huang was making his way out of his warehouse, and in Zhou's case, he was piloting a freakin' helicopter which he could have used to fly away from Liberty City before Huang could even catch him!!! How they didn't use that precious time they still had!!!
** They both still think that Huang is there ally. Chan always seen Huang as a friend and Zhou though that Huang would be stupid if he attack him. While someone can argue that Zhou could have just left when he got in to the helicopter after a failed attempt at explaining himself, he was probably just taking an opportunity to kill Huang and, in his egoism, thought he could win.

In Chan's case, he could have taken his car and drive away while Huang was making fighting his way out of his the warehouse, and in Zhou's case, he was piloting a freakin' helicopter which he that could have used been a quick escape! If they both considered their options, they might be able to fly away from Liberty City before get their names cleared when Heston reveals the truth to Huang.

** Given how police in the GTA universe are typically portrayed as callous and corrupt, they probably didn't care if Hsin lived long enough to be booked, so long as they got credit for arresting him.
* Wade also states at the end that all people present in Hsin's penthouse are under arrest minus Huang. But really, Hsin is the only living person to arrest.

** Given how police in the GTA universe cops are typically portrayed as callous generally corrupt and corrupt, antagonistic, they probably might have just let him bled to death. Heston claims to be corrupt himself, and was involved in this mess to advance his career while helping Huang, so it didn't care matter if Hsin lived long enough to be booked, so or not as long as they got credit for arresting him.
get to the end of this. Even if Hsin lived, though, the Triads are left leaderless.
* Wade also states at the end that all people present in Hsin's penthouse are under arrest minus Huang. But really, arrest. It could refer to whoever else that's in the estate, but beyond the authorities, Huang is exempt, and Hsin is the only other living person to arrest.on-screen.

* How Huang was able to deceive the Angels of Death into thinking that he was Lester? Right, Huang was wearing Lester's black jacket, but even if they didn't see him from a close distance, they should have noted that "Lester" looks really thin but when he's accepted into the club he's now fat. It isn't like he got fat from one day to another...
* How Huang never suspected that Rudy was a crossdresser if his second, third and fourth encounters with him were in female clothing stores? He didn't think that a female clothing store wasn't like a site for a meeting with a mob boss?
* When Huang goes to search Rudy in the locations they met previously, why he didn't go to the graveyard? It was there where they first met. By the way, why D'Avanzo cited Huang there the first time they met instead of a clothing store? A crowded clothing store is less likely to be attacked by the Messinas...
