China’s Ministry of Information Industry (MII) has made adjustment to China’s Internet domain name system in accordance with Article 6 of China Internet Domain Names Regulations.
After the adjustment, “.MIL” will be added under the top-level domain (TLD) name of “CN”.
A new Internet domain name system will take effect as of March 1 in China.
Under the new system, besides “CN”, three Chinese TLD names “CN”, “COM” and “NET” are temporarily set. It means Internet users don’t have to surf the Web via the servers under the management of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) of the United States.
The new regulations stipulate that under “CN”, two types of second-level domain names, namely categorized domain names and those for administrative regions.
There’ll be seven categories: “AC” for research institutions; “EDU” for Chinese educational institutions; “GOV” for Chinese government departments and “MIL” for Chinese defense departments.
Go Daddy Stop Offering Chinese Domain Names
As of today, popular domain registrar GoDaddy plans to stop registering .cn (China) domain names due to the country’s new restrictions that require more personally identifiable information from registrants.
GoDaddy is explaining its decision — announced today — before the Congressional Executive Commission on China, which is holding a hearing related to Google
and Internet control.
During the hearing, GoDaddy’s Christine Jones explains that the decision has to do with new requirements that require .cn domain registrants to provide a headshot along with additional Chinese business identification information.
When asked directly, Jones admits that GoDaddy was involved as a victim in the December cyber attack, which she says was “designed to disable websites that somebody doesn’t like.”
She claims, however, that Google’s public acts around uncensored search did not play into GoDaddy’s decision, instead she says that GoDaddy no longer wanted to “act as agent of the Chinese government.”

There’ll be 34 domain names for the organizations of China’s provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under central government, and special administrative regions. They are mainly composed of the first letters of the Romanized spelling of the names of the regions, for example Beijing‘s domain name is “BJ” and Shanghai‘s is “SH”.
