Every day is full of suprises nowadays in China. Yesterday google threatend to leave china, and today we learned you can only buy chinese domain names (.cn) through a chinese registrar*. the China National Network Information Center CNNIC decided so...
1) Overseas registrars will be kind of angry to have this business taken away without further notice!
2) The ICANN will be angry, because don't forget that the chinese government controls the .CN... because the root database in the states allows them to. the ICANN
3) Most part of registrars within China don't have an english interface of their website... not speaking about an english speaking support service.
No worries, if you baught already your .cn through your overseas registrar before, you still can manage it through that company. It's just that you won't be able to buy new ones...
thanks to buzz and the city for the info ;o)
* a registrar is a company that has the accreditation to sell you domain names.

#1 Another issue
You're welcome, always happy to share the news :)
Another issue raised by this sudden and unilateral decision of CNNIC is that it will contribute to enhance the problem of domain names "illegaly" bought in China.
For instance, it will be more difficult to buy your own brand/company domain name, thus lead to give more time / space for individuals buying your name in China.
What do you think?

but i don't understand the true reason of the chinese government!
the more people buy .cn, the better it is for china, i would have thaught...
