Beijing: China objected Monday to the US’ plan to take up the issue of the Dalai Lama’s successor to the United Nations. It accused Washington of ‘misusing’ the world body to interfere in its internal affairs.

China has been asserting that its assent to the Dalai Lama’s successor is a must as the Tibetan spiritual leader turned 84 in July this year.

Sam Brownback, the US ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom who recently met the Dalai Lama at Dharamsala, said the US wanted the UN to take up the Dalai Lama’s succession issue.

While China, with its veto power in the UN Security Council, would try to block any action, Brownback said the other countries could at least raise their voices at the United Nations.

“I think it’s really important to have an early global conversation because this is a global figure with a global impact,” Brownback was quoted by media reports as saying.

Asked for his reaction to Sam Brownback’s comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a media briefing here that the ‘UN is a platform for international cooperation’.

“The US is using the UN to interfere in China’s internal affairs. This is against the purposes and principles of the UN charter. It is doomed to fail and provoke opposition from the world,” said Geng Shuang.

“The 14th Dalai Lama is a political exile who has long been carrying out anti-China activities overseas using religion as a cover,” Geng added.

China firmly opposes any contact with the Dalai Lama by any foreign official, he said. “The reincarnation of Living Buddhas as a unique institution of succession in the Tibetan Buddhism is governed by fixed rituals and historic conventions,” Geng pointed out.

“The Chinese government implements the policy of freedom of religious belief. The reincarnations system is respected and protected by Regulations on Religious Affairs and the measures on the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas. Therefore, the reincarnation of living Buddhas including the Dalai Lama must comply with Chinese laws and regulations, follow religious rituals and historic conventions,” asserted Geng.

In recent months, the Trump administration has stepped up the pressure on China to relax controls over Tibet. In May, China rejected the US envoy to Beijing Terry Branstad’s call to hold unconditional dialogue with the Dalai Lama.

Branstad, who was granted a rare permission to visit Tibet after US raised objections to the restrictions to its diplomats and journalists to Tibet, asked China to ‘engage in substantive dialogue with the Dalai Lama or his representatives, without preconditions, to seek a settlement that resolves differences’.
