CNNIC is Aliasing?

"We have finished setting up the international Internet standards in this field and solved a series of technical problems such as the unity of variant Chinese characters and the equivalence between the simplified and traditional Chinese," Li said.

"No matter whether they input simplified or traditional Chinese in the address bar, Internet users all over the world can accurately enter the websites they are interested in," Li said. "For example, 北京大學.中國 and 北京大学.中国 have the same effect."

hmm... it looks like things will continue to evolve. I wonder if cnnic has any plans to do the same aliasing for the .cn (as the .中国/.中國)

It looks as though it is ICANN that have done the Aliasing thus far by allocating identical IP sets.

北京大學.中国 (traditional + simplified extension) also works.

The aliasing is at the CNNIC level, by simply giving registrants all variants when they register one of them.

Yes, but allocating the variants to a registrant and actually making them resolve to the same website are two different issues.

so until August, for the 3 pairs of sim.cn/trad.cn sim/sim sim/trad and trad/sim
trad/trad

only the pair that is the original registration is the aliased pair, and the other 4 will work or synchronize in a few weeks ?

2 aliasing and the 4 trailing synchronizing ?

thx.

Almost certainly more complicated than that. Variants are not simply pairs. There can be more than one variant in the Trad and probably the simplified as well whereas in some cases there are no variants. But in essence yes, I understand that the aliasing at the second level is coming but is trailing aliasing at the top level which was effected when the synchronised domains were put into the ICANN root. They had the easy job.
