So - who here can see the Chinese National TLD system?  Who can surf
to Peking University at its official web site address used extensively
in china

http://北京大学.中国/

The above URL works for me.

It doesn't work for me.

NATIONALIZE YOUR ROOT.

One of the virtues of the Internet was that it broke communication out
of the boxes national governments created for it. One of the reasons
we should favor de-nationalization of ICANN is to keep it out of that
box.

Create your own TLD infrastructure that owes no allegiance to ICANN or
the U.S. government.

And fragment the world. Great.
