The status of Chinese domain names
Posted on by Jason Li
The status of Chinese domain names… not ready.
For example, www.新浪.com (sina) leads to a not found error at http://www.xn--efvx5o.com/.
A more interesting example is www.搜狗.com (sogou), which redirects to http://www.epai.com/yima/domain/domain.htm, which redirects to http://999.5333.com/, which redirects to a generic domain not in use portal http://www.chunu.com, shown below, with some interesting text links (albeit non-working):
I tried http://www.百度.公司 and it’s an error page. 谷歌.com and 谷歌.公司 are both errors as well.
yeah, it is really not ready, but i am wondering why…
