Kokang is located on the border between Myanmar and Yunnan. Most of the local ethnic groups are ethnic minorities from China, and many of them can speak Chinese. The fortunes of the four major families start with Peng Jiasheng, known as the “King of Guogan”. Peng Jiasheng, who was born in 1931, joined the Communist Party of Myanmar in 1967. After years of war with the Myanmar government ended in 1989, the Myanmar authorities recognized the autonomous status of Kokang. Peng Jiasheng became the chairman of the First Special Zone of Shan State in Myanmar and the commander-in-chief of the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army.

Peng Jiasheng was betrayed by Bai Suocheng

Bai Suocheng, the “boss” of the Bai family, began to follow Peng Jiasheng in 1965 and rose through the ranks. After Peng Jiasheng took the top spot in the Kokang, he was appointed deputy commander of the Kokang Allied Forces in 1989 and became the second in command. In 2009, the Kokang military conflict known as the “88 Incident” broke out. The Peng Jiasheng regime and the Myanmar government went to war again, which ended in Peng Jiasheng’s defeat. Bai Suocheng later formed an alliance with the Myanmar government and became the new leader of the Kokang region. The era of the four major Kokang families began. In addition to Bai Suocheng, the Wei family and one of the Liu families among the four major Kokang families were all former members of the Peng family.

The four major families gradually established a social system integrating politics, military and business in Kokang. According to Bao Zhipeng, an assistant researcher at the Asia-Pacific Institute of the China Institute of International Studies, the Kokang forces are entrenched and have formed three major armed forces in addition to the Myanmar government forces: militia brigade, border defense battalion and police battalion. The militia brigade is controlled by the Bai family, the border camp is controlled by the Wei family, and the police camp is controlled by the Ming family, a new power family.

Monopoly on the Kokang Gambling Real Estate Industry

Bai Suocheng is now the chairman of the Kokang Autonomous Region, and his eldest son Bai Yingneng currently serves as the party committee secretary of the Kokang Gongfa Party (the ruling party established by the military government) and concurrently serves as the chairman of Baijia Industrial Yum Group. Yum Group is an industrial organization integrating politics and business. It has the qualifications to operate monopoly industries such as gambling, entertainment, and real estate development in the Kokang region.

The representative of the Wei family, Wei Chaoren, once served as a member of the Parliament of the Union of Myanmar and a member of the Kokang Autonomous Region Committee. The Wei family is in charge of the Henry Group, and the current chairman is Wei Rong, Wei Chaoren’s daughter, who has always presented herself as an entrepreneur. The Henry Group was exposed as operating under the guise of hotels, real estate and jewelry, and was involved in industries such as wire fraud and gambling.

Liu Guoxi, a representative of the Liu family, passed away in 2020. During his lifetime, he served as the Finance Minister of the Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of Myanmar. His three sons and one daughter currently run mining, casino, hotel and other businesses in the Kokang area. The third son Liu Dehong is a member of the Kokang District Parliament.

Peng Deren led the army to fight back to Laojie

The only Liu family among the four major families is not a direct descendant of Peng Jiasheng, and its representative is Liu Zhengxiang, also known as Liu Abao. Liu Zhengxiang founded Fulilai Group in 1992 and is said to be the richest man in Kokang. Fulilai Group has also been exposed many times as an electronic fraud group with more than 10,000 employees.

On October 27, Peng Jiasheng’s son Peng Deren led the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army to launch an offensive in many places in northern Myanmar under the banner of combating telecom fraud groups, approaching Lao Cai, the headquarters of the four major families. Since Liu Abao did not participate in the rebellion against Peng Jiasheng, it was rumored that the Allied Forces did not attack him, but “did not accept surrender” to the Bai family. It is said that Bai Socheng’s children were attacked by the Allied Forces when they were escaping in a helicopter. The helicopter exploded and crashed, killing all of them.
