Thank you, Sherap.
I will turn to Abbot Tenzin Thupten Rabgyal for this last question.
I think it's fairly familiar to me—I'm the chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Tibet—in terms of understanding the role of the Panchen Lama, but I'm not sure if it's crystal clear to everyone on this committee and people watching at home, the importance of the Panchen Lama vis-à-vis the succession of the Dalai Lama.
My understanding is that each recognizes the other's reincarnation and that the end strategic goal of the Chinese government is that, by controlling who the Panchen Lama is and effectively trying to replace the current Panchen Lama, they control who would succeed the 14th Dalai Lama, because the Panchen Lama identifies and recognizes who would be the 15th Dalai Lama.
Can you just explain to viewers the strategic purpose that China is trying to achieve by abducting Gendun Choeki Nyima and also by trying to put someone as a replacement in his place?
Thank you so much for being here, Rabgyal-la.
