Abstract

The article investigates the role of the Chinese government in the process of searching for and identifying the next rebirth of the Dalai Lama XIV, who has been in India since 1959. The author considers the main assessments of the Chinese authorities and the Dalai Lama’s entourage on the reincarnation issue based on Chinese sources and materials of Tibetan exile, and also notes possible ways the issue may evolve.
