How big is the bold area? Better have a comparison.

The bold area is about 2700 square kilometers.

Take Beijing as an example. The total area of Beijing is 164 10.54 square kilometers, which is six times that of Kokang.

Kokang is located on the Shan Plateau between Myanmar and China, adjacent to Yunnan Province of China in the north and east, opposite to Deng Nan Special Zone of Wa State with Dinghe River as the boundary in the south, and adjacent to Menggu Town, Damengyi Town and Guigui Town under the jurisdiction of Muse City in the west.

The Kokang area was originally the territory of China, belonging to Yunan Province, China. 1897 was handed over to Britain because of the signing of supplementary provisions of the Sino-British treaty on Myanmar. After World War II, the colony became independent, and Kokang Tusi was forced to sign the Pang Long Agreement and became a state under the Union of Myanmar.

Extended data

Kokang is a region dominated by Kokang ethnic groups, but there are also other ethnic groups living there. * * There are seven ethnic groups, namely Han (Kokang), Shan, Benglong, Miao, Lisu and Kachin. * * * have a common bold language (Yunnan dialect, southwest mandarin of Chinese).

Among the permanent residents, the Han nationality accounts for 87%, and most of them are descendants of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty. The courageous people are mostly concentrated in the old streets, and the Burmese immigrants are mostly public officials stationed by the central government of Myanmar.

In the Shan language, "Guo" means nine, and "Dare" means others, which makes it nine families. The brave man's own explanation is that "fruit" equals decisiveness and "courage" equals courage.

Kokang is a relatively backward area in economy. Since Britain colonized Myanmar, it has mainly planted poppies and is famous for producing high-quality opium. At the beginning of the 20th century, during the reign of chiefs, there was a prosperous history, and poppy gradually became the only source of courage.

Due to the economic blockade imposed by Myanmar government on Kokang, Kokang's economy relies heavily on China and Yunnan, and actively introduces capital, technology and talents from China. Power is provided by China Southern Power Grid Corporation through the 35 kV Southland East Line.

In terms of communication, China Telecom and China Mobile have set up base stations nearby, using the area code 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.
