China has stated that they will use the Golden Urn to choose the next dalai lama. the Golden Urn method was devised by Emperor QIanlong in 1792, and was already used to choose the 10th 11th and 12th dalai lama. It's funny how people are wiling to believe a fairy tale just to be anti-China, reincarnation is not real, it's simply a political tool for the theocratic lama class to stay in power in feudal tibet. The selection process for the Pope is much more logical and honest.

I think you forgot to mention about the 11th Panchen Lama, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, which according to the tradition is the one supposed to be choosing the next Dalai Lama. He was ‘protected’ by the CCP after chosen by the current Dalai Lama in 1989 and has been the youngest political prisoner in the world ever since. That is the reason why the next Dalai Lama may not be found/chosen/legitimate. The CCP may release him as the new ‘leader’ of Tibet after the current Dalai Lama though. After his ‘re-education’, of course. (For more you can look it up on wikipedia)

John Man’s biography of Kublai Khan states that the Yuan Dynasty created the position of Dalai Lama because of the infighting between regional Tibetan Lamas. They wanted one Lama to represent them all. The dates match up, and Dalai is the Mongol word for Ocean, used metaphorically as of the many. If that’s true, then there is a precedent for Chinese governments manipulating the appointment.

The struggle against Sinocization in Tibet goes back centuries. Basically Tibet is the Poland of Asia, disappearing from the map in 1720, reappearing in 1912 and again disappearing in 1951 In 1720 the Imperial Qing government launched an expedition into Tibet under the pretext of defending it from a common enemy. Tibet was soon annexed afterwards. But Tibet didn't accept Qing rule resulting in a revolt in Lahsa in 1750 which the Qing brutally put down. Tibet struggled with Qing rule off and on until the fall of the Qing. Tibet was able to recover it's national sovereignty with the assistance of the world's strongest military at the time, the British Empire. Who utilized it's geo strategic position as a buffer state. Despite the security guarntee from the British Empire Tibet never became a colony. Likewise it also never achieved de jure status of international recognition instead being able to achieve the de facto status. This would severely limit the Tibetan struggle in the future. After WW2 the UK couldn't continue with its security commitment to Tibet and recalled its troops. Tibet was left without any international recognition but the Chinese were still occupied with their civil war however the Tibetan government knew it was only a matter of time as both the Communists and the KMT claimed Tibet as part of China. Tibet attempted to reach out to both the United Nations and the Chinese government to gain it's legal status as a sovereign territory but the UN was focused on the European rebuilding effort and the establishment of Israel it couldn't focus on the Tibetan cause who in 1946 wasn't a UN member. Tibet then approached the government of China in 1946 but the Chinese civil war had outlasted WW2 was still ongoing so no response was received to grant Tibet it's full legal status. With the victory over the KMT in 1949 Mao and the communist forces moved west to "reclaim" Tibet and 1951 Tibet was returned to its second period of Chinese rule. Tibet has since tried to wither the erosion of Tibetan customs and traditions as best it can.

The Taiwanese government also still recognises the One China Policy, therefore by their own admission affirms they are a part of China. So long as that stands, Taiwan to me is a part of China. As for Tibet, the Qing government that held it passed power to the Empire of China which was replaced by the Republic which was replaced by the People's Republic. Therefore continuity of government holds. If that wasn't enough they took it back, which cements it. If you haven't noticed, official standing of the concerned parties and actual control are what I care about.

You're referring to Greater or Historical Tibet, which the Tibetan Government-in-Exile lays claim to. Author Patrick French in his book _Tibet, Tibet: A Personal History of a Lost Land_ wrote that he found it curious the TGIE would make such a claim given that even from 1913-1951, Tibet exercised no power over the region beyond historical U-Tsang (which is roughly today's Tibet Autonomous Region). Amdo and Kham had basically been under Chinese control since the Qing Dynasty, and even further back than that, Lhasa never really had much control over those regions for extended periods of time.

The struggle against Sinocization in Tibet goes back centuries. Basically Tibet is the Poland of Asia, disappearing from the map in 1720, reappearing in 1912 and again disappearing in 1951 In 1720 the Imperial Qing government launched an expedition into Tibet under the pretext of defending it from a common enemy. Tibet was soon annexed afterwards. But Tibet didn't accept Qing rule resulting in a revolt in Lahsa in 1750 which the Qing brutally put down. Tibet struggled with Qing rule off and on until the fall of the Qing. Tibet was able to recover it's national sovereignty with the assistance of the world's strongest military at the time, the British Empire. Who utilized it's geo strategic position as a buffer state. Despite the security guarntee from the British Empire Tibet never became a colony. Likewise it also never achieved de jure status of international recognition instead being able to achieve the de facto status. This would severely limit the Tibetan struggle in the future. After WW2 the UK couldn't continue with its security commitment to Tibet and recalled its troops. Tibet was left without any international recognition but the Chinese were still occupied with their civil war however the Tibetan government knew it was only a matter of time as both the Communists and the KMT claimed Tibet as part of China. Tibet attempted to reach out to both the United Nations and the Chinese government to gain it's legal status as a sovereign territory but the UN was focused on the European rebuilding effort and the establishment of Israel it couldn't focus on the Tibetan cause who in 1946 wasn't a UN member. Tibet then approached the government of China in 1946 but the Chinese civil war had outlasted WW2 was still ongoing so no response was received to grant Tibet it's full legal status. With the victory over the KMT in 1949 Mao and the communist forces moved west to "reclaim" Tibet and 1951 Tibet was returned to its second period of Chinese rule. Tibet has since tried to wither the erosion of Tibetan customs and traditions as best it can.

I have faith in Tibet as one of the most remarkably loyal civilizations humanity has created. Loyalty to the three jewels of refuge (AKA Buddhism), loyalty to its doctrine of compassion for all sentient beings, and loyalty for its Buddha-King His Holiness the Dalai Lama. They'll find a way. There's nothing but more blood, sweat, and tears for Tibet to re-attain its basic liberties or even acknowledgement of existence, but it will come no doubt.

Nickle in gadgets is mined from Tibet. The Tibetan population is about 6 million. 3 million Tibetans live in Tibet aka Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). Half of the Tibetan population and half of the Tibetan landmass is merged with Chinese province such as Qinghai (where the current Dalai Lama was born), Sichuan, Yunan, Gansu. While TAR was occupied by China in 1950 the ones merged with Chinese provinces were occupied much before 1949.

Wha? I'm in china right now and I have to say you left out some important stuff. Especially the Panchan lama (spelled wrong I think). Around the age of 26 the dalilama choose a young boy as the Panchan lama because they are spiritually connected. Counterparts, so they can know where they are when brought back to life. China might still have the real Panchan alive somewhere. (My info might not be accurate, but this should be really important).

The Dalai Lama is sort of like the Doctor, having several incarnations.

This Dalai lama enslaved 98% of population in Tibet and he is an icon in the west. Guardian "Until 1959, when China cracked down on Tibetan rebels and the Dalai Lama fled to northern India, around 98% of the population was enslaved in serfdom. Drepung monastery, on the outskirts of Lhasa, was one of the world's largest landowners with 185 manors, 25,000 serfs, 300 pastures, and 16,000 herdsmen. High-ranking lamas and secular landowners imposed crippling taxes, forced boys into monastic slavery and pilfered most of the country's wealth - torturing disobedient serfs by gouging out their eyes or severing their hamstrings." www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/feb/10/tibet-china-feudalism
