‘Do Not Interfere in…’: China Warns India Amid Dalai Lama Successor Suspense After Rijiju Remark

Tensions flare once again between India and China—this time over who gets to decide the next Dalai Lama. After the Dalai Lama clarified that the Gaden Phodrang Trust will determine his reincarnation, India backed the Tibetan spiritual leader’s stance. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said only the Dalai Lama and Tibetan tradition can decide his successor, prompting a sharp warning from Beijing. China insists it must approve the next Dalai Lama through its “Golden Urn” system. India responded diplomatically, sending ministers to the 90th birthday celebrations in McLeodganj while reaffirming its commitment to religious freedom. With the 1962 war and ongoing border tensions in the backdrop, this spiritual and political showdown may redefine India-China dynamics.#dalailama #tibet #china #dalailamasuccession #dalailamasuccessor #indiachinatension #tibetissue #chinawarning #tibetanfreedom #modigovernment #indiachinaclash #tibetchinatensions #india #goldenurn #tibetanreincarnation #penpatsering #kirenrijiju #chinareligioncontrol #freetibet #indiatibet #tibetanbuddhism #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
