You're not the only one. At my day job, we get dozens of these, about one or two a month, and the first time it happened, I responded, at which point they told us that if we paid $MANY we could register the domain <company name>.cn before somebody else did. At that point, we lost interest, as we have no business interests in China. If somebody wants to register our name in China, let them. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
