I don't want this blog to become exclusively anti-China, but I can't help it if the Chinese government keeps doing stupid things for me to blog about. The latest news: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20227400/site/newsweek/
A new law in China will take effect next month that bans reincarnation without government permission. At first this seems incredibly silly, until you read on about China's motives. The Dalai Lama is getting old, and when he dies he will be reincarnated, supposedly in Tibet. However, Tibet is under China's control, and so with this new law, they can then choose who the new Dalai Lama will be. In retaliation the current Dalai Lama has decided that he will not be reincarnated in Tibet while it is under Chinese rule. Of course, this whole thing is rather ridiculous, in fact, why does China have control over Tibet anyway? I mean, why would they want to control a bunch of Buddhist monks at the base of a giant, impassable mountain? In any event, the Chinese government is ridiculous and they should stop picking on Buddhist monks.
