Now when you vista g.cn, you will redirect to http://www.google.cn/. Wow, the shortest domain for Google. Hey, wait, is it Google’s? As far as know single letter with dot cn domains haven’t been open for register. So I check the whois info of g.cn (CNNIC official whois search service), it shows the owner named Huang Jian. He registers it at eName, a close partner of CNNIC, governor of China’s domains.

OK. It’s nearly clear that there is a traffic hijack for Google China. There are lots of Chinese netizens believe that Google has got g.cn as a fault news said. In fact, a year ago, when Google set company in Beijing, it paid one million dollar for google.com.cn and google.cn.

But, when you search the whois here, you may find there is one item more, “Registrant Organization: 北京刘元和君咨询有限公司” (Jan Liu & Associates), the attorney for Google’s case of googel.com.cn and googel.cn. Has Google really got g.cn? I think Google China will announce it soon.

PS. several single letter dot cn domains are for domain parking now.

Baidu changed its Japanese site home page yesterday. It displays a market survey of CNNIC that shows Baidu has 62.1% of internet users in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

It also announced recruitment advertisements to start its Japan‘s business.
