‘CN’ is safe, Chinese web ops told
Having been "encouraged" to adopt China’s Internet suffix, cn, so far, 300,000 domestic web operators are using it, says the country’s national press agency.
"More than 80% of central and local news Websites now use China’s ‘cn’ are increasing by 10,000 every month," a spokesman for the Internet Bureau of the State Council Press Office is quoted as saying by the Xinhua News Agency here, going on:
"Domestic Websites are safer using ‘cn’, because it can be technically maintained within the country by the China Internet Information Center, the official administrator of the mushrooming Websites opened by Chinese operators.
"Dotcom resources have become scare [sic], as it is one of the most popular domains in the world, according to Mao Wei, director of the center. There is still great potential for more ‘dotcns’, he noted."
