Chinese domain sales : Year of the Cheeky Monkey?
If you’re not familiar with what a “cheeky monkey” is, look in the mirror, smart-ass! 😛 Reserved for situations of exuberant smart-Alec’ness, being a cheeky monkey entitles one to an award of being funny and often risque.

Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Chinese domain sales : Lowest PMI in China since 2011
Things don’t look too great in China, and the economy is stagnant, despite the sheer size of the Chinese market.

Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Chinese domain sales : Enter the Dragon – or is it the Monkey?
China has always cultured its associate image as that of the mythical dragon. Enter the Dragon, is a 1973 Hong Kong martial arts film, starring Bruce Lee, John Saxon and Jim Kelly.

China’s economy does not look too good lately; the numbers are on the wall for all to see.

Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Chinese domain sales : The domainer game is not over yet
If 2015 was the year of the domain Chips, 2016 is the year of the domain ccTLDs. At least, that’s what the .WS Registry is aiming for, auctioning a bunch of previously held numeric domains in that ccTLD. Although there is no such thing as “Western Samoa” – the country was renamed in 1997 to […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Chinese domain sales : Can you trust China’s government?
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 […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Chinese domain sales : Chip liquidation ante portas?
Looks like there is increased activity among the Chinese domain investors, and it’s no more all about partying.
