Domains haven’t been available at Chinese domain registrars since early May.
Many Chinese domain name registrars stopped offering .xyz domain names back in May at the behest of China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
At the time, XYZ CEO Daniel Negari said “CentralNic is updating RNV providers to ensure there is stability in the RNV process and do our best to stop fraudulent registrations and abuse. We remain committed to a zero tolerance policy on abuse and I think we are on the right track to maintain that.”
Nearly three months later, .xyz domains still aren’t available through Chinese domain registrars.
This is what Negari has to say :
We received approval from ICANN for a new RNV solution. We are going through the contract amendment process now and will be live in China again after that.
