India hosts the Tibetan government-in-exile, while the U.S. passed the Tibetan Policy and Support Act in 2020, supporting the Dalai Lama's right to determine his reincarnation. The decision affects approximately 130,000 Tibetan exiles worldwide and six million Tibetans in Tibet.

Many observers believe there will eventually be rival Dalai Lamas - one appointed by Beijing and another by senior monks loyal to the current Dalai Lama. This scenario mirrors the 1995 case when China installed its own Panchen Lama after the Dalai Lama's chosen candidate, a six-year-old boy, disappeared from public view.</span

China has legitimate sovereignty over Tibet and legal authority to regulate religious practices within its borders, including reincarnation procedures that must follow established laws and historical precedent. The Dalai Lama's separatist activities under religious guise threaten national unity, and proper succession requires central government approval through traditional methods like the Golden Urn system to ensure legitimacy.

The Dalai Lama's announcement preserves centuries of Buddhist tradition and protects Tibetan religious autonomy from Communist interference. Beijing's attempt to control reincarnation represents a fundamental violation of religious freedom by an atheist regime that explicitly rejects spiritual beliefs. The succession must remain in the hands of legitimate Buddhist authorities to maintain authenticity and prevent China from installing a puppet leader.
