    Miss Canada stopped from entering China

    Miss Canada stopped from
    entering China for World finals after 'speaking out about human rights abuses'


    PUBLISHED
    26/11/2015 | 13:48

    Anastasia Lin, a 25-year-old Toronto actress who was crowned Miss World Canada in May, was unable to obtain a visa in advance of her arrival for the contest finals this week in Sanya, on the southern Chinese resort island of Hainan.



    But she said she attempted to enter the country anyway based on a rule that allows Canadian citizens to obtain a landing visa upon arrival in Sanya.
    Lin, who is a practitioner of Falun Gong, a religious group that says it is repressed in China, told reporters at Hong Kong's international airport that she was prevented from boarding a Dragonair flight to Sanya. She said there has been no response from the Chinese authorities so far.
    "There's no comment from the Chinese embassy ... so I realize that's the tactics they're using, they just want to let it die down," said Lin, who was wheeling a silver suitcase and dressed in a long brown trench coat.
    "It's very difficult to stand up for what you believe in," she said, adding: "I need to figure out what to do next."

    Lin testified at a U.S. congressional hearing on religious persecution in China in July. In her testimony, she said she wanted to "speak for those in China that are beaten, burned and electrocuted for holding to their beliefs", according to the text of her statement on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China's website.

    Lin said this month that her father had been harassed by Chinese officials after she spoke out about human rights abuses in the communist country.

    Asked about Lin's case, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said he had "no information to provide" about her case. He did not elaborate.
    The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa said that Lin was not welcome in China, a Canadian newspaper reported on Wednesday.

    "China does not allow any persona non grata to come to China," Yundong Yang, an embassy spokesman, told the Globe and Mail. "I simply do not understand why some people pay special attention to this matter and have raised it repeatedly."
    Miss World pageant organizers said in an email they had no information as to why a visa was not granted to Lin, but said she may be offered a place in the 2016 Miss World contest.

    She can stay with me anytime

    Seriously, fair play to her, proof this time that Miss World is not the stereotype of some brainless bimbo saying that she wants world peace.

    I don't like her nose job. I'm not to keen on her coat either.

    But yeah, it's good she's spoken her mind. Good for her. However, it will make it difficult for her to return to China, and it looks like she's got family there. Maybe they will get asylum in Canada.

    As for figuring out what to do next; that's easy - buy a ticket home.

    There was plenty of Chinese riding on Europeans coat tails in the old days more than happy to handle stolen goods in Africa, North America and Australia etc .

    The worlds got boring indeed with all this multi cultural homogenized mishmash .
    We need to get back to the old days when you knew what you were getting -with proper countries like Jamaica , Sweden, Japan etc putting up their finest ladies to compete in Miss World .
    And they read out their vital statistics.

    Yup, really boring. I had Thai food the other night, Italian last night, and might have Chinese tonight. Might even see one of the many Persian beauties that live in my building on my way out.

    Here's a tip Blue, multi culti is great when you're not a bigoted asshole.

    Do you have any purpose whatsoever, to be here, other than to be confrontational?

    I think she is quite the dumb bint and is very lucky the Chinese have stopped her from entering China.

    At the end of the day she is only a bint with a nose job, not a spokes person for the world.

    She would be crying a river if she had reached China and found herself in Jail after running her mouth. They have done her a big favor by not doing that.

    China's internal politics, China's business so if you don't like it stay away.

    Another person with an agenda to big themselves up same as that turd Geldof.

    Lin, who is a practitioner of Falun Gong
    Lin is known for her public position against human rights abuses in China
    Had a plan to become Miss Canada so she could use that platform to advance the cause of human rights around the world.

    Surely she isn't naive enough to think they would actually let here back in after she left.

    Although I am a plastics man I dislike what some girls do to their bodies adding plastic.

    That must be the most obvious nose job I have ever seen which has completely ruined her face..

    Asian women and especially some Chinese women are about as physically close to perfect it's possible to be, they don't need to be remodeled.
