    China has reacted to the announcement from the Dalai Lama that he will be reincarnated after his death and a successor will be appointed.

The Dalai Lama, the head of Tibetan Buddhism and its political struggle, said he was saddened by reports monks had been killed and tortured by Chinese authorities for refusing to denounce him as a "separator" bent on damaging China. "I had...
