Some of them even speculated and said the competition might have been rigged. . All of sudden, words like “dark secret” and “hidden rules” filled the Internet. At the same time, netizens started human flesh search on the three Chongqing Miss Internationals’ personal information such as the name, height, personal identity were exposed to different degree.

Chongqing event organizing committee staff Mr. Liu said he is aware of the feedback and questioning of the contest results on the internet but he claimed that “everyone has different definition of beautiful or ugly and we could not standardize it. The judges respected the voice of the Netizens but they emphasized they did not cheat and there were no hidden rules. The three winners will represent Chongqing for the national beauty pageant.”

But when reporter wanted to interview the three Chongqing Miss Internationals, Mr. Liu said the company prohibits disclosing any information of the contestants.
