I believe only short and easy-to-remember domain names are sustainable, regardless of where in the world you live and which cultural background you come from.

Now that the Chinese domain market has become a hot topic, I myself want to understand this trend too. Is there any real meaning behind each domain name sold in China? Here, I'd like to share with you what I've found as I read the Chinese news everyday.

GZX.com
GZX can stand for 更自信 (even more self-confident) which can be used in many fields such as education, self-help, and even consumer products to raise your self image.

XLY.com
XLY can stand for 夏令营 (summer camp) or 新领域 (new field) which can be used in recreation and high-tech products.

How big is the AI conversation in mainland China at the moment.

I've seen at least 5 Chinese owned self-driving car startups most recent Roadstar.ai

2x Multi-billion dollar business parks being built to home new AI companies

Onamae.com recently added .ai to their registrar - my question is do you see this extension being used via main-stream media outlets in mainland china?

Have you seen or come across the extension in public i.e advertised on a building or car

The government recently made learning AI mandatory in a school curriculum.

China's stance from my western perspective is China is all-in on AI. They're betting everything but the kitchen sink it seems on this technological evolution and want to be #1

Here are some possible combinations off the top of my head.

BWZ
不外走 (don't go outside)
不武争 (don't resolve conflict with force)
步稳重(walk steadily)
不微赚 (make no small profit)

There may be many more possibilities. Branding with letters or numbers is an art which requires a lot of thinking.
how u come to know that this BWZ is saying these things, from where u get this info.

That's old info. These days I use the Chinese Input Method Editor installed on Windows and get many combinations. For example.

While it still may be speculation, I have noticed a ton of domains (VR+NNN and NNN+VR) being registered in China.

If you have good names, buyers will find you, otherwise you can try domain brokers in China.

I have not come across any real use of such domains.

This is a sub-forum dedicated to China related issues. You'll get more suggestions by asking it in the main forum.

If you can identify potential customers to use this domain to build website, then it has value.

If you have done your research on potential buyers before you acquired these domains, then have confidence in your selection. People may say a certain domain is worthless, but the one who has done the research knows it's valuable.

These words from Rick Schwartz explain why I refrain from giving opinion on value of domains:

"And as far as valuations go, the ONLY valuation that counts is YOURS!"

Not totally sure if this article is good or me being 2 optimistic ? WeChat launches new shopping function that lets you shop on JD.com with just a few clicks “Now simply by entering consumer product related keywords into the search box at the top of the WeChat homepage or the search function in the “Discover” tab, top search results popping up are product pages JD.com.” The shopping function, however, works on clear and unambiguous keywords and but not queries or more complex phrases. According to a PingWest report, the shopping results didn’t appear when entering the query “which one is better, Mentholatum or NIVEA?” or the keywords “book on artificial intelligence.”
Hmmm owning the keyword registration is a powerful marketing tool would/will owning the keyword registration be an advantage in early stage AI search results

Kassey Lee - what do you think about the domain Khata888.com? Khata is supposed to be exact spelling chinese ceremonial scarf if I am researched correctly. Also triple 8's for prosper.

Any value?

Khata is not Pinyin and Baidu has not given me any insight into it. 888 is a number favored by domain investors, but as far as I can see, I have not come across any leading Chinese company using such pattern. Why such pattern is so popular remains as a myth to me. If you can find an end user in China, your domain will be very valuable. Therefore, do your research before acquiring any domain.

I am hoping that as it spreads into the West even more then my SinglesDay.cn will find a buyer, probably from China realizing that the domains will have to be in English other than Pinyin or the occassional Chinese character domain.

That Chinese companies don't use English brand+domain is just a myth. However, a set of names on both .com and .cn (e.g. SinglesDay.com + SinglesDay.cn as a set) will be most attractive to startups in China, imho.

I have SinglesDay.com.cn but the .com is a well established dating site.

Not exactly. This term is from Tibetan Buddhism. And unlike Wikipedia says, everybody (or pretty much every Tibetan lama i know) spells it like katak or katakh or something like this.
