Dalai Lama Vs China: Tensions are surging as the Dalai Lama announces he has identified his successor, defying Beijing’s longstanding claim that only China can approve the next spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism.

As the Dalai Lama approaches his 90th birthday, he asserts the authority of his India-based trust to name his reincarnation, sparking a succession battle with.. IndiaTimes
China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.
