The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army continues to develop and hold economic conferences. General Peng Deren, due to his advanced age, presided over the meeting for a day and then stepped back from public appearances. It was changed to Peng Deli, Peng Dejun, Peng Kun, and others to guide the entire conference. These people are all descendants of the Peng family, and there are also several descendants of the Peng family who control the economic power in the Kokang region. In fact, the Kokang area has transformed from the four major families of Kokang into the Peng family, changing from four families to one family, which makes it easier to manage.
During the 14-year period from 2009 to 2023, the four major families of Kokang caused chaos in the entire Kokang region. Mainly, the four major families of Kokang each did their own thing, were not in harmony with each other. Then, it was difficult for the Kokang region to develop. Because to coordinate matters in northern Myanmar, the four major families did not give each other face, leading to very difficult handling of affairs.
But when it became the Peng family of Kokang, any matter could be directly addressed to the Peng family. This made it easier to solve problems. If the Peng family does not cooperate, it's simple, just replace the entire Peng family. Although there may be some resistance, it is much easier than the four major families of Kokang.
The Peng family was betrayed in the August 8th incident in 2009, and was forced to abandon the Kokang area. The Peng family as a whole must have had deep reflections. After struggling in the small Mengla area for 14 years, they retook the Kokang area, and they must have learned lessons.
Do not do anything that is not visible in the light, and definitely cooperate with the northern neighbor country, without being too strong. From the Peng family's agreement to withdraw from Lashio, we know that this retreat was significant, and cooperation is possible. As long as the Peng family can cooperate with the northern neighbor country, there will be no major problems in continuing to govern the Kokang area.
