People’s Daily fresh article regarding Chinese domains

China’s People’s Daily has released a story counting a denial by China’s Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

CNNIC, the registry of .CN ccTLD, released a statement regarding the story originally noted by People’s Daily that China was breaking away from ICANN’s DNS. The article in today’s People’s Daily states:

In a statement issued on Friday, CNNIC points out that the note is inaccurate and “the corresponding reporter lacks the understanding of the real situation, the content of the note is severely inconsistent with the facts”.

Interestingly, CNNIC’s web site makes no mention of the controversy.
