Qi Jia, the Chinese representative, will not be able to compete in Miss Universe 2023.
The 72nd edition of Miss Universe, slated as Miss Universe 2023, is supposed to happen in the evening in El Salvador’s José Adolfo Pineda Arena.
Unfortunately, Qi Jia, the Chinese representative of the beauty pageant would not compete in the beauty contest due to missing out on pre-finale competitions. The visa complications caused Qi Jia’s arrival to be delayed. This led to her missing out on several other competitions scheduled before the finale and thus Qi Jia had to step down from being the representative this year.
Taking to Instagram, the Miss Universe China official page posted the update. “The Miss Universe competition areas will take place from November 15 to 18. The organizing committee and the champion, Ms. Jia Qi, applied for visa procedures as soon as her coronation was announced and actively prepared for the world finals, however, due to the delay in issuance, she flew to El Salvador as soon as the visa was granted and he lost more than a week of activities, which made it impossible for him to compete in this year’s international event.”
