I've read the public announcement of Chinese Ministry of Information Industry. It just state that: there will be another sub-domain mil.cn created besides another six english lettter sub domain in .cn And, it also states: three Chinese Character TLD is establish which is "China"/"Cooperation"/"Network". In fact, these top level chinese character TLD exist for years; and these TLD is supported by public-root.com for years. Could this be "NEWs"? >From viewpoint of computer science, domain name is just a database structure which is used to represent IP address. So, it should NOT be limited to 7-bit code and should allow 8-bit code scheme. Considering robustness of Internet, a distributed service system is surely better than a central one.
