As of 29 October 2012, the domain name ".中妣8250;" (i.e. China in Chinese characters) is available for separate public registration with Latin alphabets, Arabic numerals, a combination of the two and/or inserting a hyphen. This was announced by the China Internet Network Information Centre ("CNNIC"), China's national internet network information administrator. Prior to the announcement, only "Chinese characters.中妣8250;" could be registered with CNNIC and ".中妣8250;" could not be separately registered as it always had to be registered together with the domain name ".CN".
