Listen "ThePrintPod: Dalai Lama decides to reincarnate. His successor may only get an imagined homeland to rule"
Episode Synopsis
After years of debate, the Dalai Lama has decided he will reincarnate. China, however, is determined that it, not Tibet’s government-in-exile, will decide who his successor should be. Time is on Beijing’s side. The country’s rapid economic development, as well as its severe suppression of dissent, have won over significant numbers of Tibetans to its side. The Tibetan diaspora in India, meanwhile, is in decline, with numbers of young people chosing to make their future in the West.
