Recently,it was reported that China had created its own Top Level Domains, and might be planning to break away from ICANN and the DNS. China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) as the registry of .CN ccTLD, made solemn and just declaration.
Where as, the corresponding reporter lacks the understanding of the real situation, the content of the report is severely inconsistent with the facts, CNNIC hereby clarified as follows:
- The "Announcement on China Internet Domain Name System" made by Ministry of Information Industry (MII) of China is the complement to the previous Announcement which was made in 2002. The only difference is to add a second level domain ".MIL.CN" in .CN ccTLD;
- Together with the global Internet communities, CNNIC had committed itself to maintain the stable operation of the DNS and to actively promote the development of IDN for years.
