China has warned India not to interfere in the succession process of the next Dalai Lama, claiming it as Beijing's internal matter. The current 14th Dalai Lama stated that only his trust has the right to identify his successor and hinted that his rebirth would occur in a free country, possibly India. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju supported the view that the decision should follow religious traditions and the Dalai Lama's will. China fears that a successor chosen from India would strengthen the Tibetan independence movement and weaken its control over Tibet. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/internal-matter-china-warns-india-to-not-interfere-in-dalai-lama-reincarnation-process-11872285 #creator program
