The above statement is the one that I took objection to. Analystics is showing all traffic for this domain coming from PRC apart from one or two clicks which come from DNLocal members, checking things out.
You are, however, correct that there does seem to be some discrepancy in the statistics. We can, however, conclude:
1) Search Traffic is coming out of China on search and can be monetized even for parked domains.
2) Most Search Traffic for the present for this particular domain is coming from Yahoo but the is also some coming from 3721.
3) It would seem that those searching Yahoo and 3721 are overwhelmingly using IE6 on an XP platform. We have as yet found no evidence of IE7 or Vista.
4) Traffic is being derived broadly from across the PRC and is not limited to one ISP or one Geographical Area.
5) The evidence to date suggests that there is little direct navigation of IDN within China.
As for Touchring, well I think is suffices to say that different criteria apply there. I realised along time ago that I didn't have the time or resources to take much of what he says seriously.

I mean what exactly is that suppose to mean. I haven't got a clue!
