The Chinese Embassy in New Delhi said on Sunday (July 13, 2025) that issues related to Tibet, including the successor of the Dalai Lama, are a fork in India-China bilateral relations and they have become a burden for New Delhi. This comment from China, Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has come before the visit to China to attend the conference. This will be Jaishankar’s first visit to China after the serious tension between the two countries after the 2020 military deadlock over the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh.
India and China have withdrawn their soldiers from the last two places in East Ladakh in October last year. In the last few months, both countries have introduced several measures to improve bilateral relations.
China expressed resentment over the statement of Dalai Lama
Earlier this month, the Dalai Lama said that a trust of Tibetan Buddhists would have the only right to recognize his future successor. At the same time, China expressed displeasure over the Dalai Lama’s remarks and said that his successor should be approved by the Chinese government.
Chinese embroidery spokesperson made a statement about the successor of Dalai Lama
Chinese embassy spokesman Yu Jing said in a social media post on Sunday (July 13), “Members of strategic and educational communities, including former officials, have made unfair remarks contrary to the public attitude of the Government of India regarding the successor of the Dalai Lama.”
Yu Jing said, “They should be fully aware of the sensitivity of issues related to Shijang and also that the rebirth and succession of the Dalai Lama is naturally an internal matter of China, in which no external strength intervention will be tolerated.”
It is noteworthy that China calls Tibet as Shijang. The Chinese Embassy spokesperson said, “In fact, the issue related to Shijang is a fork in China-India relations and has become a burden for India. Playing Shijang card will definitely be like hitting an ax on its own leg.”
