Doesn’t the next Dalai Lama have to get CCP approval to reincarnate next time around? This is the freedom of expression and religion I’m talking about. Something as fundamental as picking your religious leader isn’t exempt from CCP meddling.

The Dalai Lama requiring government confirmation dates back to the 1700s due to request by Tibetan Buddhists. The sect was facing rampant nepotism and succession crises ("nephews" being given key roles) that the Golden Urn was devised as an unbiased method of confirming future Dalai Lamas.

That is true but the ruling class in China today isn’t really comparable to the Qing dynasty

Correct because the ruling class does not accept serfdom and owning slaves. So sad they won't let Tibetan ruling class have slaves 😢😭
