After not having posted registration figures for at least four months, CNNIC, the China Internet Network Information Center, has finally updated its figures to show they have regained the number one ccTLD ranking from .DE (Germany).According to the latest figures, there were 13,680,727 domain name registrations as of 30 November compared to 13,325,300 .DE registrations as of 13 December according to the DENIC website.Registration figures for CNNIC were dropping significantly, likely to be as a result of the ending of a promotion CNNIC were running in 2008. However it appears they are once again on an upward trend.Both though are way ahead of the third placed ccTLD, .UK (United Kingdom) who in November passed the eight millionth registration milestone.To register your .CN, .DE, .UK or any other domain name, check out Europe Registry or Asia Registry.

“China” will formally enter the global Internet in 2009. The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) officially launched “China’s domain name global escalation action” on July 16, according to Chinanews.com.

The main contents of this action are from the day domain name “.China” enters the global root domain name system and all those registered users of “.CN” will automatically receive a corresponding “.China” domain name. Users need not register. Also at this time, all “.China” domain names will automatically synchronize with the “Chinese domain name” global registered root domain name system and can be visited anywhere in the world.

Opinion :

It seems China have already put through a regulatory system which will organise the .CHINA domain extension. China have already taken dominance over germany with the .DE extension becoming second to the .CN. So the question we must ask ourselves will the .CHINA be more popular than say the .GERMANY ?.
