No matter how silly you think someone else's religion is, you don't get to dictate what others believe or how they get to believe. China has effectively made a religion functionally extinct with their actions. No matter how you slice it, it's a loss for humanity.

Did i say any of that I'm far from a china fan but respecting someone's religion is different than supporting a six year old being turned into a religious figure disallowed a childhood and forced to take lifelong vows of poverty and chastity which is what the Pachen Lama is forced to do.
