China Urges India to Avoid Interference in Dalai Lama's Reincarnation Process

China has reiterated that it holds exclusive authority over the approval of the Dalai Lama's reincarnation, urging India to avoid supporting activities linked to Tibetan independence or interfering in this religious process. Chinese embassy spokesperson Yu Jing emphasized that the Central Tibetan Administration lacks legitimacy and called on India to honor its commitments regarding Tibet. The CTA is set to swear in its new political leader, Penpa Tsering, with the 14th Dalai Lama present, amid ongoing sensitivities in India-China relations over Tibet and the Dalai Lama's succession.
