China’s tech companies with streaming video platforms, such as Baidu, Sina, Youku and Sohu, have agreed to the Chinese government’s demands to follow new restrictive guidelines.
Video streaming would require any users to register their real identities with the company before a video stream can be initiated.
Also, hired streamers can and will be black-listed, and video streaming companies agreed not to hire any streamer whose name appears on the blacklist.
In May, Chinese authorities banned people filming themselves eating bananas in a “seductive” fashion.
Really?
Yuku video streaming community is very popular in China.
So much for freedom of speech and open sharing of information, in the world’s 2nd largest economy!
Meanwhile, the Chinese domain market is stalling once again, as it did for most of the year with the exception of the two recent months.
Volume in sales has dropped, and average prices for “Chips” has hovered in the low $1,300 – $1,400 range.
We keep track of short domains, between 2 to 4 characters in length, that change hands in China, in the .CN, .COM and .NET TLDs.
Domain investors that met in July in China, at the World Domain Conference, have more knowledge of the situation, obviously.
Here is today’s list of domain names:
fsbn.cn
fskl.cn
fspz.cn
gdl.com
hygb.cn
hyjm.cn
pbyl.cn
pncm.cn
rgyl.cn
ytyl.cn
mlxw.com
ncbx.com
nzhc.com
nzmf.com
qwxc.com
rtzz.com
As an added bonus, the domain Yingpan.com has been sold, matching the city by the same name, popular for its well-preserved Caucasian mummy.
