Top Chinese ventilator firms and their domains
It’s interesting to see which domain names these Chinese ventilator firms use.
I’ve been reading a lot of news regarding Covid-19. Since of this infectious disease, demand for ventilators is skyrocketing and governments around the world are scrambling to purchase the equipment.
China is a major supplier of ventilators, and Daily China lists the following vendors as the top five Chinese ventilator brands: Mindray, Aeonmed, Comen, Amoul, and Superstar.
I was curious which domains these ventilator firms used. To be clear, my interest is similar to understanding other corporate domain decisions, and not in any way to take advantage of these firms.
By searching Baidu, I was able to find out their Chinese brands, and how they use the .com, .cn, and .com.cn domains. Here is the result.
| Chinese | English | Domain | .cn | .com.cn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 迈瑞(Mai Rui) | Mindray | Mindray.com | not resolve | forwards to Mindray.com |
| 谊安(Yi An) | Aeonmed | Aeonmed.com | for sale | not resolve |
| 科曼(Ke Man) | Comen | Comen.com | not resolve | different firm |
| 安保(An Bao) | Amoul | AmbulGroup.com | not resolve | not resolve |
| 舒普思达(Shu Pu Si Da) | Superstar | Superstar-med.com | not resolve | not resolve |
What have I learned? Obviously, .com is the first choice for all these Chinese firms. Also, every one of them seems to have created an English brand first and then translated it to a Chinese brand. Interestingly, they don’t seem to care regarding .cn and .com.cn, which are popular in China.
