Chinese authorities have approved four new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to start operating in the country: .ink,  .ÖÐÎÄÍø ('web site'), .ÔÚÏß ('online'), .¼¯ÍÅ ('group'), and .ÎÒ°®Äã ('I love you'). This follows two similar decisions issued in December 2016, concerning .vip, .club, .xyz, .site, and .shop. According to Chinese regulations, domain names in gTLDs can be registered in China, but they can only be activated or hosted in the country following an approval from the relevant authorities.
