Foreign Businesses to be Allowed to Register .CN Domain Names

Beginning in December 2002, foreign businesses seeking to secure their presence in China's Internet space will be able to acquire URLs with the ".CN" top-level domain name. The .CN extension is the geographical top-level domain name for China which had previously been available only to citizens and businesses within China. In an agreement between the .US registry NeuStar and the China Internet Network Information Centre ("CNNIC"), registrations for .CN will be accepted through accredited registrars located outside of China.
