It is a foregone conclusion that Myanmar** is on the verge of a complete recovery of Kokang. The main reason why Kokang has not yet been recovered is the presence of the Kokang Alliance, and the question of whether this obstacle can be sustained in the future is basically negative. In 2017, the Agricultural Bank of China froze the accounts of the Kokang allies and refused to accept donations to the Kokang, marking an important turning point. The main reason why the Kokang Allied Army was able to restrain the Burmese army was that its leader, Peng Jiasheng, received a systematic military education during the Liberation War, which made the Kokang army comparable to the Kuomintang army in terms of tactical literacy. In contrast, the Tatmadaw was less tactically literate and was often defeated by the Kokang Army, and it was not until later that the Tatmadaw updated its equipment and began to counterattack. Overall, however, the Tatmadaw has not achieved impressive results.
The issue of Kokang is more complicated, because historically this place was under the control of the Chinese Tusi, and most of the inhabitants were Han Chinese, which was in great conflict with the ethnic groups of Burma. Locals continue to use Chinese and Chinese, clashing with Burmese culture, leading to long-term instability in the Kokang region. As the spiritual leader of the Kokang Alliance, Peng Jiasheng has successfully led many successful resistance to the Burmese army's attacks, but compared to the huge Myanmar, it is not difficult to destroy the Kokang Alliance. In recent years, the Tatmadaw has amassed a large number of forces by internally disintegrating and recruiting part of the Kokang Alliance. After Peng Jiasheng went into seclusion, he remotely commanded the remnants of the Kokang Allied Army to carry out guerrilla attacks against the Burmese army stationed in Kokang. After taking over Kokang, Myanmar** focused on repairing relations with the people, setting up military garrisons, and creating an unforeseeable future war for the remnants of the Kokang allies.
The Kokang region was once separated from Myanmar, mainly because of cultural and ethnic issues. If Myanmar** can recognize this and revise its policies of ethnic discrimination and repression, the Kokang coalition will lose its foothold and face a difficult situation. The Kokang Allied Army was originally a separatist force belonging to the Communist Party of Burma, and after its demise, it operated in the Kokang area. As Myanmar** continues to recruit and cooperate with the national cultural policy, the goal of recovering Kokang will become more likely. With a population of only about 300,000, it is not difficult for Myanmar** to integrate the region's inhabitants. In addition to military means, Myanmar** needs to resolve the Kokang issue through diplomacy and cultural policy in order to achieve the goal of recovery and stability in the region. While ensuring military control, the establishment of a harmonious cultural symbiosis will be a long-term solution to the Kokang problem.
Such efforts will help Myanmar** gain the support of residents in the Kokang region and ensure long-term stability and governance.
