Who is Deputy Leader Jiao from American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch: An Odyssey in the New China and what is their importance? | English & Literature Questions & Answers

Deputy Leader Jiao is the second in command at the Wushu Center in Shaolin. He is more cunning and ruthless than the actual leader, and Matt thinks that it is really Jiao who runs things and has the real power. Jiao is not portrayed as a nice person, and Matt does not like him. He is generally more concerned about money than about anything else, and does not seem to care about the kungfu or the Buddhist practices at the Temple, despite this being what Shaolin is supposed to be all about. Jiao is a member of the Communist Party and so answers to the Chinese government.
