Asia, and China in particular is a hotbed for expansion for many companies.
China is a consumer-driven society, exposed to the benefits of Capitalism, in a unique combination with Communism.

Brand owners unfamiliar with the range of brand piracy proliferating in China often fall prey to Chinese domain name scams.
Such solicitations arrive via email, with a characteristically urgent tone to owners of .com or other generic extensions.
These Chinese scam emails want you to believe someone is applying for your domain brand or even trademark in China. They ask you to use their services in order to thwart these attempts.
The process entails the registration of .CN domains and the rendering of additional services related to domain names.
In a nutshell: These emails from China are scams and should not be responded to.
