China grooms Panchen Lama for post-Dalai Lama era
The increased tempo of Tibet-related activity by Chinese authorities was capped by the June 5 meeting between Xi and Gyaltsen Norbu, the Chinese-appointed Panchen Lama.
THE issue of the XIVth Dalai Lama's reincarnation, or emanation, and that of Tibet have gained prominence over the past year. The release of the XIVth Dalai Lama's book 'Voice of the Voiceless' in March this year, where he hoped the book would "provide a framework for the future of Tibet even after I am gone", has given it impetus.
