On July 26, 2017 I wrote this article and I posed a question.
"The question is will the Chinese Gov't make the Panchen Lama the "Official Regent" of Tibet for the next 15th Dalai Lama".
Tsem Tulku and the 14th Dalai Lama may have just answered my question.
Tsem Tulku has just written an article on the 14th Dalai Lama "Officially Recognizing" the Chinese 11th Panchen Lama.
That's correct the Chinese 11th Panchen Lama is now being described by the Dalai Lama as the "Official" 11th Panchen Lama.
The Dalai Lama is now stating that there can be "Multiple" emanations of the 11th Panchen Lama.
From Tsem Tulku's article titled "Dalai Lama's sudden change of mind about China-backed Panchen Lama".

"Now the Dalai Lama has stated that he also believes multiple incarnations of one mind is possible, and His Holiness has also endorsed the Chinese-backed Panchen Lama’s education (even praising it)."......
was keen to provide evidence that it is possible even though, as you will notice from the video, there were no related questions that would prompt this information. In fact, this is not the first time there have been two Panchen Lamas. Even in the case of the previous 10th Panchen Lama, it is very well-known that two boys were identified as candidates to occupy the Panchen Lama throne. In the end, both were recognised as reincarnations of the 9th Panchen Lama but only one, the mind emanation, ascended to the throne. The other was recognised as Panchen Otrul, or “emanation of Panchen”.

Does this also mean that with that "Official Recognition" he now also see the Panchen Lama as the "Regent" of Tibet.
The practice has always be that when the Dalai Lama dies the Panchen Lama is the "Spiritual Regent" of Tibet.
Again from Tsem Tulku's article.

Hence his endorsement of the Chinese-backed Panchen Lama is just the latest in a list of concessions he has made and the Tibetans should probably expect more. But what does it mean for the Tibetans and their leadership?
To have a Chinese-backed Panchen Lama means that the identification of the next Dalai Lama would fall under the control of the Chinese government. Tibetans in exile would never follow a Chinese-backed 15th Dalai Lama, leaving them essentially leaderless once the 14th Dalai Lama is gone. It would throw the Tibetan community in exile into turmoil.
With his comments, the Dalai Lama is in effect giving up Tibet’s future. His endorsement of the Chinese-backed Panchen Lama means there will no longer be any opportunity for a Dharamsala-backed Dalai Lama recognised by a Dharamsala-backed Panchen Lama. Without an exiled 15th Dalai Lama, it cements the possibility that there will no longer be a fight for independence or autonomy spearheaded by such a candidate."

http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/current-affairs/dalai-lamas-sudden-change-of-mind-about-china-backed-panchen-lama.htmlThe Dalai Lama stated that the boy he chose is living a normal life and receiving an normal education in China.
Here are some quotes from the article.
Quote
"Just a few days ago, His Holiness the Dalai Lama made a stunning announcement that has shocked many people. On 25th April 2018, the Dalai Lama said that he knows from “reliable sources” that the 11th Panchen Lama candidate he recognised, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, is alive and well. He also said that the 11th Panchen Lama who was recognised by China, Gyaincain Norbu, is being educated by a good teacher AND that it is possible for two incarnations of a being to exist at the same time.".......
Now the Dalai Lama has stated that he also believes multiple incarnations of one mind is possible, and His Holiness has also endorsed the Chinese-backed Panchen Lama’s education (even praising it)."

My final statement in my first post on this article was the following.
"OUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF TIBET COULD ALL CHANGE WITH THE PANCHEN LAMA".
It now appears to be coming true.
Thank you Tsem Tulku for your wonderful article that now gives us so much hope for our future.
If the Dalai Lama can change his mind about the 11th Panchen Lama he can also change his mind about Dorje Shugden.
He can blame it all on the Nechung Oracle.
