I decided to look at the Google PageRanking for some China idn ccTLDs. I chose a few Chinese Universities. Here are my observations:-

Běijīng University
http://北京大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://北京大学.cn/ PageRank 9/10

Fúzhōu University
http://福州大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://福州大学.cn/ PageRank 0/10

Guǎngzhōu University
http://广州大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://广州大学.cn/ PageRank 6/10

Liáoníng University
http://辽宁大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://辽宁大学.cn/ No PageRank information available

Shāndōng University
http://山东大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://山东大学.cn/ PageRank 5/10

Shēnzhèn University
http://深圳大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://深圳大学.cn/ PageRank 7/10

Sìchuān University
http://四川大学.中国/ No PageRank information available
http://四川大学.cn/ PageRank 8/10

Considering that 中国 has been live since 9th July I was expecting to see some PageRanking. Actually, I cannot recollect seeing any idn ccTLD with a Google PageRanking.

André: what a coincidence I had just recently been correcting some PHP code to get Google Pagerank that was not working and I realized it is not compatible with non ASCII tlds. Where are you getting the Pageranks from? Maybe the problem is not the PR itself, but the way is is being checked.

I am using the Google Toolbar extension with Firefox. One of the tools is Google PageRank.

I'm pretty sure that the Pagerank that appears on Google toolbar is not the same Google page rank that works behind the scenes. The two are quite different.
