True China

The text states that in China, government permission is required for reincarnation.

Infact verdict: True (91/100).

The claim that in China, government permission is required for reincarnation is supported by evidence. Specifically, the regulation applies to Tibetan Buddhist lamas, where the Chinese government requires approval for their reincarnation. This policy is part of China's efforts to maintain political control and influence over Tibetan Buddhism. Sources such as ABC News and the South China Morning Post confirm that reincarnation must follow Chinese laws and be endorsed by Beijing. Therefore, the claim is factual, but it is specific to Tibetan Buddhism and not a general requirement for all reincarnations in China.
