Canada's China-born Miss World contestant was stopped in Hong Kong on Thursday and denied permission to board a flight to the beauty pageant finals in China, a move she said was punishment for speaking out against human rights abuses in the country.
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.

Um ,Cleveland is not located in Canada. Reach over and give that Google Maps a good whack on your monitor. Good, that should clear things up.

There actually is a Cleveland, Canada. It's in Quebec province. Don't know anything about any rail lines going through it.
Just sayin’.

I think she is absolutely lovely and far more beautiful than the average Caucasoid contestants who look a little hard around the edges to me. Chacun à son goût.

You no chin. That's because she's a Lin.

Miss Lin is a very attractive woman, and shares enough of our views to take China to task on it's civil rights abuses. She okay by me.
