When it comes down to trusting a government, one has to take into consideration its political position.
In China, communism is the official political system, and while China has made lots of improvements in how its humanism is perceived by the West, it’s still not fully compliant with global standards.
Perhaps due to commanding 1.375 billion people, the Chinese government is leveraging a growing economy that often sits atop an unstable pivot point.
China’s government also wants to control how outsiders in China operate; a recent announcement that foreign publishers in China will have to first get approval about the “text, pictures, maps, games, animation and sound” is clearly imposing totalitarian control over thought and creation.
That might be a problem with Western domain registrars eager to tap the vast Chinese domain market.
They have to not only comply with current requirements to get started in China, but to also obey any future demands the Chinese government might issue, such as limitations on particular domain keywords, or the blocking or perhaps the deletion of domains expressing opposing ideas.
With that in mind, domain sales in China continue to occur, albeit at a conservative rate.
We monitor such sales of short domains daily, from 2 character to 4 characters in .com and .CN TLDs.
