Buddy Chinese worst fear is that Dalai lama will announce new lama in tawang before his death and he will continue the freedom fight against China.

Nay. You know nothing about how Dalai is chosen, and how politics plays the role.

A passing Dalai Lama may "foresee" when he will be reborn. However, it is in the secular world that people choose the potential incarnation in a very complex ritual/process. Finally, the legitimacy has to be recognized and approved by central government of China.

After all, the title of Dailai Lama is given by political ruler in the first place:

During 1578 the Mongol ruler Altan Khan bestowed what would later become the title Dalai Lama on Sonam Gyatso, which was also later applied retroactively to the two predecessors in his reincarnation line, Gendun Drup and Gendun Gyatso. Gendun Gyatso was also Sonam Gyatso's predecessor as abbot of Drepung monastery.

In addition, Dalai Lama can also be non-tibetan (the 4th).

More, if I remember right, Dalai Lama lineage was stopped once (or twice) in history. For political reasons, it was restored. Then for political reasons, it can be stopped again. Even this Lama once had such an intention.

Further, current "yellow hat" of Tibetan Buddhism has opponents. They are against Dalai Lama's religious oppression, and may well want to prevail with different color:

Summary

This page is a summary of the effects of the Dalai Lama's ban on the practice of Dorje Shugden.

...

In brief

* Monks and nuns are forbidden to do the practice and are unconstitutionally expelled from their monasteries and nunneries if they do not comply
* Thousands of Shugden practitioners among the Tibetan lay people are being forced to abandon the practice or lose the support of their government and face orchestrated public humiliation and intimidation
* People who refuse to renounce the practice are losing their jobs, their children are being expelled from schools, and their travel papers; and their travel papers, which require prior authorization from the Tibetan Government in Exile, are not being issued
* Statues have been smashed, temples destroyed, books burned, practitioners' houses attacked, and even death threats issued in a persecution that resembles a medieval witch hunt

Segregation

Today the entire Tibetan population is being forced to hold an Identity Card, the YELLOW CARD, proving that they took the oath swearing (1) not to worship Dorje Shugden, and (2) not to have any material or spiritual relationship with Dorje Shugden practitioners.

This segregates and denies the human rights of both monastics and lay families.

Segregation in the monasteries

Buddhist monks and nuns who do not swear and are not given the Yellow Card are:

* Not allowed to eat with others
* Deprived of food. They are not allowed in any of the monastery's kitchens. Even if they receive some external help for their survival, they cannot buy food from the monastery's shop or anywhere in the nearby Tibetan settlements
* Not allowed to set foot in their main temple,
* Not allowed to attend the daily monastic gatherings of prayers, rituals and debates
* Having to be protected by Indian police to attend the sacred yearly Monlam Chenmo Festival, created by their religious founder Je Tsongkapa.
* Receiving violent threats in the neighbouring Tibetan settlements, cowardly posted during the night

It is forbidden to talk to them. It is forbidden to walk close to them. If you see one of them, you have to deviate your steps to not cross his or her path.


Segregation in the lay community

Dalai is not a problem at all.

As said, Dalai is a title, just like "president" in religion. New Dalai must be approved by central gov. to be Dalai. No one can grant himself as Dalai. This ritual is MUST.

And, new Dalai would be "reborn" only after the current dies. In another word, when the current passes, no one can point one teenager and name him as Dalai so as to keep functioning in such "free tibet" game.

South-Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh in your name, which is not home yet, is our real problem. How could we get it back without hurting its current guardian?

Then why Chinese are objecting Dalai lama's visit to tawang and asking Indian authorities to block the visit. The riots in Lhasa before the Beijing olympis show that Tibetans want freedom.
