Hopang, a small town in northern Shan State, has undergone dramatic social and economic changes since falling into the hands of the United Wa State Army (UWSA) early this year. Residents are complaining of high taxes and “Sinicization” under the UWSA administration, with a proliferation of casinos, massage parlors and brothels.
