THE ISSUE OF THE DALAI LAMA’S REINCARNATION HAS GAINED A HIGHER PROFILE
The issue of the Dalai Lama is attracting increased attention in recent months. Conscious of the XIVth Dalai Lama’s advancing age, many in the Tibetan community in India and abroad are concerned about whether the succession will be smooth. There is a widespread feeling among the Tibetan diaspora that China will create problems, including attempts to fragment the Tibetan community in exile. Apparently recognising this, the Dalai Lama’s new book titled 'Voice for the Voiceless: Over Seven Decades of Struggle with China for My Land and My People', which was released on March 9, was categoric that the next Dalai Lama will be born in the “free world”.

XI JINPING CONCERNED ABOUT WEAKENING POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IN PLA
There are adequate signs that Chinese President Xi Jinping and senior echelons of the Chinese leadership are concerned at the levels of corruption in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and China’s defence industry. They are more worried at the wavering in the political and ideological commitment of PLA officers and personnel to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee (CC). Accordingly, a major new education campaign focussed on instilling political loyalty to Xi Jinping has been launched. On February 5, a “Notice” in the PLA Daily, whose importance was highlighted as it was issued under the signature of its Editor, again emphasised the need for the PLA to be “absolutely loyal” to the CCP CC and have “firm political loyalty” and be ideologically committed to it. It particularly targeted the senior PLA echelons with decision-making authority and said a “key minority” needed to “strengthen learning and the ideological transformation”.

FROM SHIPYARDS TO HIGH SEAS: CHINA’s SHIPBUILDING DOMINANCE
Maritime transport is a critical component of international trade, connecting countries and supporting the global economy. Ninety per cent of the world's goods are transported by sea, contributing significantly to the movement of raw materials, finished products, and energy resources. Globalization has enhanced trade and the movement of goods, making shipbuilding an important strategic industry.

CHINA PREPARING FOR TROUBLE IN TIBET
Apparently apprehensive about the possibility of sudden untoward developments in Tibet, the Chinese authorities have accelerated measures to ensure stability and consolidate China’s occupation and claims over Aksai Chin, Ladakh etc.. China is also attempting to forge a ‘Himalaya initiative’ to expand its economic and diplomatic influence in the wider region. The XIVth Dalai Lama’s advancing age, decline in Chinese influence in Nepal and the rise of US influence among the Nepalese people and the growing links between the US and Nepal's think-tanks, are important contributory factors. The outreach to the Dalai Lama in mid-2024, albeit at a lower level, is one effort.
