Dalai Lama appointed by China 'is going to be a fake one', exiled former Tibetan leader says

In an interview with FRANCE 24, exiled former Tibetan leader Lobsang Sangay said that any successor to the Dalai Lama appointed by China "is going to be a fake one".

Sangay also likened Beijing's ethnic unity law to "an ethnic erasure". He said that Tibetan concerns had been "downgraded a bit" in US-China talks.

Additionally, Sangay accused China of failing to warn of the deadly August floods on the Nepal-Tibet border.
