What is .中文网?
.中文网 is one of the older generic TLDs: ICANN records its delegation as January 3, 2014, long before the 2012 expansion.
In the DNS, .中文网 is stored as the ASCII string xn--fiq228c5hs (its "A-label"). Browsers and apps that support IDNs show the native script instead.
Beijing TLD Registry Technology Limited also runs one other TLD, including .在线.
On the technical side, .中文网 is served by 4 authoritative name servers, 2 of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .中文网, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.teleinfo.cn).
