The Chinese Embassy in India referred to the Tibet issue as a 'thorn' in Sino-Indian relations, cautioning against using the Tibet card.
The embassy spokesperson emphasized that the reincarnation and succession of the Dalai Lama is an internal affair of China, urging non-interference by external forces.
China stated that India has political commitments and recognizes Tibet as part of Chinese territory, not permitting Tibetans in India to engage in anti-China political activities.
The debate over the successor of Dalai Lama has sparked tensions, with China asserting that the selection must be approved by its government.
