Tibetan votes to elect a new prime minister of the Govt.

If chinese are so big hearted why don't they allow the tibetans to choose their own Dalai Lama?

There is no higher authority than the state. Any Dalai Lama will have to act as a religious figure only. The Feudal role of the Dalai as theocratic autocrat is incompatibly with a modern society. There is a reason why country like America has a separation of Church and state.

I have posted information already and you just need read it. FYI, I just post it here again:

Historically, China top leaders, either from Qing's emperors or from CCP, normally approve who will be the next official Dalai or Panchan Lama.

What is so different appointing the next Dalai Lama by CCP from the one appointed by Qing Dynasty's Qianlong Emperor?

You have not heard of 金瓶掣签 (Golden_Urn)???

Golden Urn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read carefully:
This method originated in a decree issued by the Chinese emperor Qianlong in 1792, and was used in the selection of the 10th, 11th, and 12th Dalai Lamas. After defeating the Gurkha invasion in 1792, Emperor Qianlong issued The 29-Article Royal Decree for Better Governing in Tibet, in which Article One ordered the new protocol for deciding the reincarnations of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama.

The reason behind is that as the real Tibet governor, Chinese emperors were not happy with the Dalai Lama or Panchan Lama's selection process. Throughout the time, most of the selected next Dalai or Panchan were from the noble class or as result of conspiracy by those Tibet nobles. Some Dalai Lama even got assassinated or removed from the position later. That is why Qianlong dictated the Golden Urn rule. BTW, China emperors have also get rid of Tibet highest leader: its king and set up Dalai Lama as both the religious as well as the official leader in Tibet, of course under the central government. Basically, China set up Dalai Lama as her Tibet's governor.

Where is his power coming from? Of course it is China. Otherwise, those Dalai Lamas have already been killed by the Tibet King, who was get rid of By China emperors.

Chinese central government throughout different dynasties have control over the selection as well as the final confirmation of Dalai Lama as well as Panchan Lama.

As current government, I see no problem for CCP to interfere the next dalai as well as panchan lama.

The post of Dalai Lama is not on the basis of whims and fancies of a political dictatorship (or democracy), but through ancient Buddhist tradition of knowing the next incarnate.

And this is applicable for what the Qing emperor did as well.

Ancient Buddhist tradition?

My parents are both Buddhists, and they think the Dalai Lama is an idiot.

And China has the largest number of Buddhists out of any country in the world.

(Whereas India has less than 0.5% of their population as Buddhists.)

What you described is exactly how the position is picked.
