China messes up in Miss World 2010 - plays politics against Miss Norway

China messes up in Miss World 2010, and it is not out of context or an exaggeration to say that they blocked Miss Norway chances to win the crown. China has done again , what it is good at, playing politics everywhere and be vindictive in their words and action.
I remember, my Professor at Delhi University, Ms Mira Sinha Bhattacharji narrating how as interpretor for Prime Minister Nehru though she was personally known to Chinese Premier Chou-en-Lai, she was rebuked and ignored at an international Women's meet, by him, to express Chinese anger on India having extended asylum to His Holiness Dalai Lama, the God-King of Tibet.
There was no great surprise when Britain’s four contestants failed to make the final cut in the spectacular broadcast to an estimated one billion people around the world.
However, insiders were shocked that stunning 23-year-old Norwegian university graduate Mariann Birkedal - the odds on favourite - didn’t even make the top five.
According to reports last night, observers speculated the judges bowed to pressure from Beijing, which is involved in a bitter international spat with Norway.
China is said to be furious after the Oslo-based Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded the coveted prize to the jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo earlier this month.
Chinese pettiness needs International contempt and rejection!
