DALAI LAMA SHOCKS CHINA: ‘I May Live Beyond 130!’ | Dalai Lama Drops BOMB on Succession Row

s the 14th Dalai Lama celebrates his 90th birthday, the long-simmering issue of his succession has erupted, placing India and China in a diplomatic standoff. Speaking to followers during long-life prayers in McLeod Ganj, the Tibetan spiritual leader expressed his hope to live beyond 130 years to continue serving humanity. However, the focus has sharply shifted to the political and spiritual battle over who will be his successor. The Dalai Lama has unequivocally stated that his next incarnation will be born in a "free country," a clear rejection of any successor chosen or approved by the Chinese government. This declaration reignites a major point of contention for Beijing, which insists the process must adhere to "Chinese laws and historical practice." This has prompted a stern warning from China's Foreign Ministry, cautioning India to avoid "interference" in Tibet-related matters that could damage fragile bilateral ties between the two Asian giants. India, which granted asylum to the Dalai Lama in 1959 after he fled a failed uprising in Tibet, has maintained a consistent position. New Delhi has stressed that the matter of succession is a religious one and that only the Dalai Lama and his trust have the right to decide. This stance has not appeased Beijing. The situation leaves the Tibetan community in a precarious position, with widespread fears that China will attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to legitimize and tighten its authoritarian control over Tibet. The Dalai Lama's firm stance, India's diplomatic tightrope walk, and China's assertive warnings have set the stage for a major geopolitical flashpoint. #DalaiLama #IndiaChinaRelations #Tibet #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Dharamshala #Geopolitics #China #LatestNews #WorldNews Also Read Dalai Lama’s 90th Birthday Message: Altruism, Wisdom, And Hope For The Future :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/dalai-lama-s-90th-birthday-message-altruism-wisdom-and-hope-for-the-future-7792751.html?ref=DMDesc India and the Dalai Lama: A Bond Rooted In Tradition, Tested by Geopolitics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-and-the-dalai-lama-a-bond-rooted-in-tradition-tested-by-geopolitics-7790117.html?ref=DMDesc The Battle for a Soul: Dalai Lama’s Rebirth Sparks Fresh Tensions with China; Beijing Reacts By Saying... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-battle-for-a-soul-dalai-lama-s-rebirth-sparks-fresh-tensions-with-china-beijing-reacts-by-sayi-7789273.html?ref=DMDesc

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’

Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal." The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity. This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USTariff #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #TradeWar #OneindiaNews #USDollar #Dedollarization Also Read Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.125~
