Why would the rules of reincarnations be subject to any laws of man? How is it that Beijing could possibly exert control over metaphysical powers? To suggest so, proves the speaker does not believe in reincarnation and should be ignored on the subject, no?
No authority greater than Xi Xing Ping is absolute authoritarianism.
The catch that always seems to bring this heavenly process down into the dirt is “identifying” the reincarnated lama. China’s rhetoric, if you look closely, is all about ensuring outside countries don’t interfere in that process. They are trying to assert that only they have the ability to recognize when the reincarnation has taken place, and who it is. Not that they can control who it is.
I know, it’s bullshit. But “people get hung up on bullshit” is a shortened history of human civilization.
The Panchen Lama is a puppet of the CCP.
