The Chinese satellite, Tiangong-1, is waving goodbye to space, and in a week from now it will crash on earth.
The exact place that it will burn itself onto is unknown, as China’s space engineers lost control of Tiangong-1 a while ago.
Plummeting towards earth, it will hopefully end up in some remote, uninhabited area or ocean, where domainers don’t live.
Just like Tiangong-1’s trajectory, the Chinese domain market has turned into an earth-crashing fireball.
Despite a recent price peak of “Chinese premium” LLLL .com’s above the $1,000 threshold, the market is nowhere close to its all-time peak in 2015, and sales volume has been consistently down, week after week.
We keep track of short domain names, between 1 and 4 characters, that change hands among the Chinese, for the .COM, NET and .CN TLDs.
