On 25 June 2010, [[ICANN]] approved the use of the [[internationalized country code top-level domain]]s ".{{lang|zh-Hans-CN|中国}}" (''China'' in [[simplified Chinese characters]], DNS name ''xn--fiqs8s'') and ".{{lang|zh-Hant-CN|中國}}" (''China'' in [[traditional Chinese characters]], DNS name ''xn--fiqz9s'') by CNNIC.{{cite web|url=http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25jun10-en.htm |title=Adopted Board Resolutions |location=Brussels |date=25 June 2010 |publisher=ICANN |access-date=2012-01-15}} These two TLDs were added to the DNS in July 2010.

CNNIC proposed around this time Chinese [[domain name]]s in ".{{lang|zh-Hans-CN|公司}}" (".com" in Chinese) and ".{{lang|zh-Hans-CN|网络}}" (".net" in Chinese). However, these have not been recognized by [[ICANN]] yet and are only available via domestic [[domain name registrar]]s.
Around this time, CNNIC also proposed Chinese [[domain name]]s ".{{lang|zh-Hans-CN|公司}}" ("company" in Chinese, equivalent of ".com") and ".{{lang|zh-Hans-CN|网络}}" (".net"). Both were delegated in January 2014 and have been active since.


Around 15 other generic domain names with Chinese characters have later been registered. See [[List of Internet top-level domains#Chinese characters]].
