The difference between Myanmar Kokang and Wa State

I think the main difference between Kokang in Myanmar and Wa State lies in: Geographically, Kokang is located in the north of Shan State and Wa State is located in the south; Judging from the ethnic composition, the Han nationality is the dominant nationality and the Wa nationality is the dominant nationality. Politically, Kokang is an autonomous region of Shan State, while Wa State is an autonomous region. On the historical background, both of them have ethnic contradictions and drug problems; Economically, courage mainly depends on gambling and jade, while Wa relies on agriculture and mining.
