New Silk Road, holders of the Miss World license in China and Macau, have lost their licenses for both countries effective immediately, with an official statement from Miss World confirming that their outsourcing the selection to a 3rd party for this edition violated the agreement between MWO and their licensees. New Silk Road organized the Miss China Selection since 2001 when the country joined Miss World, and helped to organize the editions of Miss World in Sanya. This is a BIG DEAL. READ THE BACKGROUND OF THIS STORY BELOW: While pageants in China have left the public eye, for whatever reason, a media blitz came about after Qin Zewen was appointed as Miss World China 2022 The media blitz may have helped a backlash, as netizens have questioned several things, such as whether her credentials as an analyst are exaggerated. In addition, it appears that netizens have questioned whether her educational qualifications are valid, as well. But what might be the biggest issue is that Qin Zewen did not participate at all in the 71st Miss World China competition, so if Ruan Yue made inappropriate remarks (the justification for removing her), why wasn’t a runner-up chosen instead? It looks like this argument has reached MWO’s ears, as it has posted an official statement that they are investigating the controversy.
