Gyancain Norbu
Gyancain Norbu is a Tibetan Buddhist figure and the official Chinese government-recognized Panchen Lama, a position he assumed after the Chinese government rejected the Dalai Lama's choice of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima in 1995. He is seen as a leader of Tibetan Buddhism within China and is a member of the Chinese government, often promoting Beijing's policies regarding Tibetan religion and culture. His recognition by the Chinese authorities has been controversial, particularly among Tibetan exiles and supporters of the Dalai Lama, who view him as a symbol of China's efforts to control Tibetan Buddhism.
