A quote from Wikipedia regarding Chinese governments view of Buddhist reincarnation:

"On August 3, 2007, State Religious Affairs Bureau Order No. 5 was issued by China which states that all the reincarnations of tulkus of Tibetan Buddhism must get government approval, otherwise they are illegal or invalid. "

I seriously can't stop laughing at the Chinese government for thinking they can dictate who does or does not reincarnate, lol.
