This was a funny one to me. Apparently the Chinese government, in order to further its claim on Tibet, has signed into effect a law that forbids the Dalai Lama and other Tibettan clerial dignitaries such as the Panchen Lama (whom the Chinese government abducted when he was a child, and holds captive) from returning to Tibet in their next incarnation.

As usual, I think it is safe to say the Chinese government is out of touch with reality again.

The Dalai Lama himself has recently denied his own relavence in Tibet's struggle for independence, and has said the movement will continue regardless of whether he is present or not.

Forgive my ignorance but I dont really follow global politics.

Is china just ruled by one nutcase or did a whole room full full of people come up with this idea?

Hey!  You guys be nice to our future world-overlords.  I'm sure the Chinese will run a strict world when they take over.

It is hard to say. The Chinese are on a decisive economic upswing, and are biding their time well, waiting for the proper time to come into full influence reflective of their material and martial strength.

On the other hand, the future of the Chinese government is uncertain. Great sentiments for change have been coming from the the people for decades now. No one is satisfied with the iron rule that has been the example of late. I think as China rises, there will in parallel be a massive social revolution, similar in scope to the one Maozedong led that brought the Communist party into power. Let's hope for the sake of the Chinese people and the people who will feel China's influence that it is a change for the better.

they have a debt-free economy based on monies exchanged for goods and services (versus the common system in the west of using private central banks to create principal with interest - meaning that a country like the US perpetually creates debt and can never pay it off).  that is the RIGHT way for a nation to create money and build an economy. 

though their social system is lacking.  too many people.

some say that there is a chinese economist who is responsible for the current economic crash in america because of a formula he developed that ignores risk assessment.  as soon as the formula was implemented on a grand scale in the states, this dude took off to china and got a job.....assessing risk in the market!  lol.  anyway, some people believe this to have been a deliberate act of economic warfare on the part of the Chinese, as a way of saying to the west, "we're not going to be a part of your private banking economic scheme and our system is better".

PR - you may well be right about the Chinese and the global economy, but this business about forbidding the reincarnation is a real hoot!
