That’s modern Chinese for China. Learn it. You’ll need it in the future. Why? Because starting some time in 2009, that domain name will be ready for use. Think about it for a moment. About the same time that China becomes the number 1 English speaking country, the domain name for China comes into use. If information is the current coin of the realm, and China is already one of the biggest sources of Internet users, how long before the rest of the world will need to learn Chinese in order to keep up? Or will local languages become just another wall that technology tears down?

Coming in 2009: Yourname@somewhere.中国
