Gyaltsen Norbu, known to many Tibetans as Gya Panchen (Chinese Panchen) is received at the Great Hall of the People by China’s President and Party Secretary, Hu Jintao, on the eve of Gyaltsen Norbu’s 15th birthday in 2005. Hu Jintao appropriates the Tibetan tradition of the presentation of a khatag (white scarf).
