CNNIC said that nearly 10,000 new Chinese cn domain names are registered each month. He added that 16 out of 17 new domain names registered in China last year were .cn domain names. According to CNNIC, there were two reasons for the record growth in .cn domain name registrations. He explained that the first reason was the improved Internet environment in China, which created a higher demand for domain names. The second reason according to CNNIC was that China domains (.cn) offered a wider choice since the number of available .com domains was running out.
