I presume that if a Chinese bank were to register their name then the similar .com would be blocked for them (just as the Chinese paypal alike would be blocked). What if the .com is a blogger, would the Chinese bank accept being blocked, would they exert pressure to have theirs anyway or would the blogger be fair game for lawyers/ICANN managed domain hijacking?
