About this listen
Hindustan Times Executive Editor Shishir Gupta speaks with Abhishek Singh, Deputy Editor at Livemint, about the growing friction between China and the Tibetan Buddhist community following the Dalai Lama’s latest succession announcement. The 14th Dalai Lama has made it clear that the spiritual lineage will continue after him and that his successor will be selected by a trust he established, not by the Chinese government. As he nears his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama’s stance is seen as a direct rebuke to Beijing’s bid to control Tibetan religious affairs. Why is atheist China so unsettled by this declaration? And what are the implications for India-China relations? Tune in to this episode of Point Blank for the full analysis.#dalailama #ccp #chinesecommunistparty #xijinping #buddhism #tibet
