China Urges India to Avoid Interference in Dalai Lama Reincarnation and Tibetan Affairs

Ahead of the Central Tibetan Administration's (CTA) political leader Penpa Tsering's swearing-in in Dharamsala, China urged India to avoid involvement in the Dalai Lama's reincarnation and Tibetan independence activities. Chinese embassy spokesperson Yu Jing stated the CTA lacks recognition and authority over the reincarnation process, which China considers an internal matter requiring its approval. China called on India to honor commitments on Tibet to maintain bilateral stability, while the CTA and the Dalai Lama continue their established practices.
