Miss Chinese International Pageant 2008 was held on January 26, 2008 in Foshan, China, for the second consecutive year. The pageant was organized and broadcast by TVB in Hong Kong. Miss Chinese International 2007 Sarah Song of Sydney, Australia crowned Oceane Zhu of Paris, France as the 20th Miss Chinese International. Zhu is the first ever winner from Europe. Paris also debuted at this year's pageant, making the victory more memorable.
Pageant information
The slogan to this year's pageant remains the same as last year, which is "International Beauty, Competing in China" 「國際群芳 競艶中華」. The Masters of Ceremonies include Eric Tsang, Sammy Leung and Myolie Wu. Special performing guest was cantopop singer Kenny Chung.
Top 10 mishap
While the MCs were announcing the top 10 semi-finalists, there was a notable pause and indistinct discussion among them after the third delegate was called out. Eric Tsang then said an error was made in announcing one of the semi-finalists, but did not state whom. After the initial 10 delegates were announced, Sammy Leung said that (20) Ivy Han was among the semi-finalist list as well, causing the list to grow to eleven semi-finalists. Immediately afterwards, the reasoning for this was backtracked and the MCs stated that the extra semi-finalist was due to scoring issues and a tie for 10th place. After the pageant, it was revealed that the mix-up occurred because the scoring tie was not communicated to the MCs, hence they were hesitant to announce all eleven semi-finalists. [1]
