You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Etymology==
The name Kokang derives from the Burmese [[wikt:ကိုးကန့်|ကိုးကန့်]], which itself derives from the [[Shan language|Shan]] [[wikt:ၵဝ်ႈ|ၵဝ်ႈ]] (kāo, "nine") + [[wikt:ၵူၼ်း|ၵူၼ်း]] (kúun, "family") or [[wikt:ၵၢင်|ၵၢင်]] (kǎang, "guard").

==Distribution==
In 1997, it was estimated that the Kokang Chinese, together with more recently immigrated Han Chinese from [[Yunnan]], [[China]], constituted 30 to 40 percent of Myanmar's ethnic Chinese population. They constitute around 0.1% of [[Demographics of Myanmar|Myanmar's population]].<ref>((cite book | chapter=The Ethnic Chinese in Myanmar and their Identity | author=Mya Than | title=Ethnic Chinese as Southeast Asians | year=1997 | editor=Leo Suryadinata | publisher=Institute of Southeast Asian Studies | location=Singapore | isbn=981-3055-58-8 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/ethnicchineseass0000unse/page/119 119&ndash;20] | chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/ethnicchineseass0000unse/page/119 ))</ref>

==History==
Most Kokang are descendants of Chinese speakers who migrated to what is now [[Shan State]], Myanmar in the 18th century. In the mid-17th century, the [[Yang (surname)|Yang clan]], a Chinese military house that fled alongside [[Ming dynasty|Ming loyalists]] from [[Nanjing]] to Yunnan, and later migrated to the [[Shan States]] in eastern Myanmar, formed a feudal state called [[Kokang]]. From the 1960s to 1989, the area was ruled by the [[Communist Party of Burma]], and after the dissolution of that party in 1989 it became a special region of Myanmar.

The [[Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army]] (MNDAA) is a Kokang insurgent group. In August 2009 they clashed with [[Tatmadaw]] soldiers in a conflict fanned by controversial interests known as the [[2009 Kokang incident]],<ref>[http://www.internationalrivers.org/blogs/227/chinese-dam-builders-fan-conflict-in-burma Chinese Dam Builders Fan Conflict in Burma]</ref> followed by further skirmishes during the [[2015 Kokang offensive]].
