| has gloss | eng: Kingdom of Heokam or Kingdom of Chiang Hung was a political entity of Tai Lue people centered on the city of Chiang Hung or modern Jinghong the capital of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture. The kingdom, in the most powerful state in the 13th century, covered a large area of northern highlands before being overwhelmed by neighboring powers such as Yuan dynasty, Lanna kingdom, and Burmese Empire. In the late 18th century, the Siamese went on the immense campaign to move the majority of Tai Lue people to Lanna. Nowadays, a large number of Tai Lue people can be found in the northern provinces of Thailand. The assimilation policies of Mao Zedong in the 20th century further encouraged Tai Lue diaspora. |
