  • The Economist Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm your host Rosie Bloor.

  • Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

  • In advance of the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday this weekend,

  • he's announced that he will indeed be reincarnated after he dies.

  • That may sound esoteric,

  • but it has big implications for the future of China-Tibet relations.

  • And in LA,

  • a posh grocery chain recently started importing and selling individually wrapped Japanese strawberries for $19 each.

  • Our correspondent explores the new craze for luxury fruit.

  • But first...

  • You can choose to either get involved or just walk around, watch, enjoy the show.

  • In certain parts of the internet, Bonnie Blue is one of the most famous people.

  • The 26-year-old from Nottingham in Britain has taken over TikTok feeds,

  • Instagram reels and YouTube shorts with content that isn't exactly family-friendly.

  • 600.

  • The most high profile is probably a stunt where she claimed to have slept with a record number of men in 24 hours.

  • Her challenges, as she calls them, made her a lot of money on OnlyFans,

  • a British website where customers pay performers directly.

  • OnlyFans has shaken up an industry with a dark side, and it could soon be up for sale.
