.China offers internet investment portfolio opportunities
Domain name news brought to you by DescriptiveDomainNames.com
Investors looking for generic domain names may like to explore the potential of .china before it enters the global internet next year.
Non-Roman script will be enabled on Chinese websites, allowing URLs to end .china written in Chinese characters.
Owners of the current .cn domains will receive a corresponding .china name, according to People's Daily Online. Users will not have to register and the sites can be visited from all over the world.
Liu Zhijiang, deputy director of the China Internet Network Information Centre (CNNIC), told CCTV.com: "ICANN will put .china in Chinese into its root servers in the first half of next year."
However, "vicious pre-registration of the words with civil rights is not allowed," the spokesperson added.
China was one of several countries expected to introduce non-Roman domain names after ICANN's announcement on the subject last month.
The CNNIC was set up as a non-profit organisation in 1997 and is directed by the Chinese ministry of information industry, according to its website.
