"China tells living Buddhas to obtain permission before they reincarnate"
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article2194682.ece

Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders. The ban is included in new rules intended to assert Beijing’s authority over Tibet’s restive and deeply Buddhist people.

“The so-called reincarnated living Buddha without government approval is illegal and invalid,” according to the order, which comes into effect on September 1.

Hahahahahahaha.

LOL. Part of me would LOVE to see them try to enforce this, but the other part of me is still worried about what's going to happen when the Dalai Lama dies. If his followers can't get back into the country, then they can't find his reincarnation so I guess he really won't be able to properly reincarnate without permission.
