"Why does an auction in London scare the CCP? The answer is that it documents how, traditionally, the reincarnations of deceased Dalai Lamas were identified. No consultation with the Chinese authorities, no “Golden Urn” (do not believe Wikipedia, which is often manipulated by “friends” of Beijing), no lottery between various candidates (a system only used in the 19th century for the 11th Dalai Lama and to confirm the 12th, who had already been selected through traditional methods)."
