The difference between Wa nationality and Kokang nationality in Myanmar

The differences between the Wa nationality and the Kokang nationality in Myanmar are: different geographical location, different economic sources, different main nationalities, different regions, different time of belonging to Myanmar, different communication operators and so on.

First, the location is different.

Kokang, officially known as Kokang Autonomous Region, is an autonomous region under the jurisdiction of Shan State, Myanmar, with Laojie as its capital. The Wa State, also known as the second special zone of Myanmar, is officially called the Wa Autonomous Region, which is a nominal "autonomous region" in Shan State of Myanmar.

Second, different economic sources.

Kokang is a relatively backward area in economy. Since Britain colonized Myanmar, it has been famous for producing high-quality opium. On the other hand, the gambling industry is developing to the gambling industry known as "Little Macau", but in recent years, due to the restrictions of China government on overseas gambling tourism, the financial revenue has dropped sharply. Wa's resources are mainly agriculture and rare metal mining.

Third, the main nationalities are different.

The main ethnic component of Wa State is Wa nationality, which is closely related to Wa nationality in China. In Kokang area of Myanmar, the main ethnic group is Kokang people.

Fourth, the region is different.

Wa is bigger than Kokang, with a population of 27,000 square kilometers. Although this area is under the jurisdiction of the Burmese government, the Wa State has autonomy, and almost everything is decided by itself.

Fifth, the time of belonging to Myanmar is different.

As early as the late Qing Dynasty, the British incorporated it into Myanmar with a paper agreement. The Wa State was coerced by Britain in 194 1 year, and then the national government assigned it to Myanmar and became their actual control area, but there was no written document.

Sixth, the communication operators are different.

Brave communication operators are China Telecom and China Mobile. There is a base station near them, using the area code of 0883 in Lincang, China, and the Internet is also connected with the outside world through China. In addition, the mobile phone users of China Telecom and China Mobile have no international roaming charges when roaming in Kokang area, so they don't need to handle the international roaming function. The only mobile communication in Wa State is provided by operators in China, so using mobile phones in China is not roaming.
