The 11th ‘Chinese’ Panchen Lama, Gyaltsen Norbu (known in pinyin as ‘Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu’), is back in Lhasa, in winter this time.
His arrival on the Roof of the World triggered a lot of media coverage in China.
Xinhua also announced that the Beijing-selected Panchen Lama has been elected Chairman of Tibet Development Fund, an important ‘non-governmental, non-profit organization’, according to Xinhua.
Of course, the Fund is a ‘non-governmental’ with Chinese characteristics, in other words, fully under the Party’s control.[Source]
