Gyalo Thondup
Gyalo Thondup (Chinese: 嘉乐顿珠; pinyin: Jiālè Dùnzhū), (born c.1928)[1] is the second-eldest brother of the 14th Dalai Lama. He often acted as the Dalai Lama's unofficial ambassador, and was involved in many political controversies around the Tibetan society.[2]
In recent years, Thondup has repeatedly said that the only way to achieve progress is with China.[3] In 1998, the Central Tibetan Administration (the political arm of the Dalai Lama's anti-China diaspora faction) criticized Thondup for not letting the Dalai Lama know about the CIA's involvement in Tibet.
