I wonder what would happen - if the chiness were to block all dns service
to china from the outside world (firewall the dns) only allow official
queries to be done via authorized government dns services, then they would
setup their own root servers - and say bye bye to the rest of the world
and NSI and ICANN.

Then they can setup their own registries and sell their own version of
dot.com.

Knowledge of the dns is power, is it not croker.
