The drug lords of Mexico and the Golden Triangle are both notorious in the international community. Which one is more powerful?

The strength cannot be directly compared, because they are in different places and have different numbers of people, but they are the most powerful in each other's regions, so they are equally matched.

The largest drug lord behind the Golden Triangle drug cartel is called Kun Sa. He is the largest drug lord in the Golden Triangle. He controls most of the drugs in the entire Golden Triangle area and has several divisions of troops under his command. There is also the drug lord Naw Kang, who is the prototype of "Operation Mekong". He is known as Nau Kan and nicknamed "The Godfather". He is the leader of a large armed group in the "Golden Triangle" region of the Mekong River Basin and a notorious drug lord.

He once served in the Myanmar army and could speak Burmese and Thai. Later he became Khun Sa's subordinate and embarked on the road of drug trafficking. Drug lord Khun Sa surrendered to the Myanmar government forces, and as Khun Sa's subordinate, Naw Kang also "surrendered". However, despite the apparent surrender, Nuokang's desire for drug trafficking did not die. By bribing senior officials of the Myanmar government and colluding with the Lahu militia, he established another drug trafficking gang, which was called the "Nuokang Group" by the locals. Naw Kang's drug trafficking gang was active at the border between Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Later, it gradually grew in strength and incorporated Khun Sa's old gang. He himself became the largest drug lord in the Golden Triangle after Khun Sa.

Mexican drug lords are also very powerful. Just like what happened before, Mexican security forces arrested a son of the big drug lord Guzman in Culiacan that day. Armed members of drug gangs launched fierce gun battles in several neighborhoods of the city, with citizens running for cover in the streets. In order to restore calm in the city, the security forces had to let people retreat. But videos on social media show drug cartel violence continues despite the drug lord's son being released. Even the government cannot control drug lords, which shows how powerful Mexican drug cartels are.
