Who is the Panchen Lama? Birthday: April 25, 1989 Age: 12 Born: Lhari, Tibet Address: Unknown The Panchen Lama was 6 years old when he and his parents were kidnapped from their home in Tibet by the Chinese government. He is the world's youngest political prisoner and he has been missing for over 6 years. Panchen Lama is a title like Vice-President or Prime Minister that Tibetans give to the second greatest leader of Tibet. Panchen means "Great Scholar" and Lama is a word Tibetans use for a religious teacher. We believe that the Panchen Lama is the protector of all the world's living beings. This all means that the boy in this picture will grow up to be a very powerful leader of Tibet and perhaps the world. Why did the Chinese Government Kidnap The Panchen Lama and his Parents?

So now there are 2 TWO Catholic Churches in China, one run by the Pope, which is underground and heavily persecuted in the normal Chicom way, and the state-supported Chinese Catholic Church, whose Bishops and priests, BTW, are probably fully legal Catholic Clergy, or at least once were.
This is a replay of the old Soviet Days when they thoroughly infiltrated and co-opted the Russian Orthodox Church. Bishops and Abbots, Pastors, even nuns, were KGB agents. And that's both outside of the Soviet Union and within.
To add to the confusion some were very good people who chose to play along so there would be some religion in the country, others were out-and-out finks. Who's Who? Anywhere the Commies pulled this trick, we may never know! .
You mean:Free East Turkestan, Outer Mongolia, Manchuria, and all SOVEREIGN territories occupied by the Chinese communists.
