.cn Domain name

Does the same apply to .eu urls ?

I have registered a couple of these urls on the off chance they may take off but not sure whether to re-new the re-registration or not.

It's worthless as many people, and I am one of them, have their e-mail systems delete everything that has a .cn domain regardless of what it is. Far too much spam has killed that one off completely. If the Chinese want to be taken seriously they have to get a handle on that problem first.

WHS - my forum and blog blocks anything coming from a .cn or .ru domain. Stick with a .com instead.

With all the analysts predicting a boom in China , is it worth registering a .cn domain name?

With all the analysts predicting a boom in China , is it worth registering a .cn domain name? I have sold components to Australia and America so maybe China could be next.

Reason is that a co. in China wants to take my .co.uk domain name and register it as a .cn, and the rules in China are that whoever in the world has the domain name has first refusal.

It's not particularly expensive to do but is it worth it, can you make money anymore out of doamin name sitting?
