Leah and All,

Whether China launches its own root or not, the question is: will I be able to
access the Chinese rootzone and its TLDs from a WWW cybercafe in Peru, or perhaps
in Finland?  China may have its own "root" for purposes of a country-specific
WAN, but how does it affect the global DNS if the Chinese domains do not
automatically resolve worldwide?
