Just like virtually no Tibetans believe the Chinese Panchen Lama is the real one, nobody would believe a Chinese govenernment-chosen  Dalai Lama XV, including one chosen by the Chinese-installed Panchen Lama.  A few months ago the Dalai Lama said he would personally choose the next Dalai Lama before he dies.
