[ga] FYI: China no longer claims Chinese script gTLD domains?

[Alexander Svensson <alexander@svensson.de>]

From an AP article on the Chinese IDN approach published 
by CNN as "China drops plan for Chinese-script web address"
(http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/10/30/china.internet.script.ap/)

  Two years after threatening to split the online world by issuing 
  its own set of Chinese-script Web addresses, China appears to have 
  quietly dropped such plans. 
 
  [...]
  
  Hu Qiheng, chairwoman of the state-run Internet Society of China, 
  said Beijing would only exercise authority over Chinese-script 
  addresses registered with China's ".cn" country suffix.
