China bans reincarnations without government permission

It's OK if the government wants to control peoples' lives. But making them seek approval for reincarnation is beyond ludicrous.

quote:
In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation."

I wonder how they intend to catch wayward monks who break the law.

What if you die in China but are reincarnated in Nepal or vice versa? Are we even sure which jurisdiction the reincarnation takes place?
