Dalai Lama turns 90 and vows to keep defying China for years

The Nobel laureate is seen as a global religious leader, though Beijing labels him a separatist and seeks control over the faith.

The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, the Dalai Lama, turned 90 on Sunday after a week of celebrations by followers during which he riled China again and spoke about his hope to live beyond 130 and reincarnate after dying.
