From the draft:

> ...network A, B and ... are AIP networks; Domain node "www.yahoo.com" in network B is expressed as "www.yahoo.com.B" for its external domain name.

It mean that www.yahoo.com can co-exist in AIPs A and B. The "external domain names" will be www.yahoo.com.A abd www.yahoo.com.B. Would HTML documents be linked using local names or external names? Local only names are not going to work across APIs unless www.yahoo.com maintains same document hierarchy in all of them!



I don't think China would care at all. If all the links to www.yahoo.com suddenly becomes invalid by default, now the Great Firewall can do whitelisting instead of blacklisting!

On the other hand, they already have access to a ".B" suffix, and it's called ".cn". For exampe, www.yahoo.com.cn.


I suspect the Great Firewall already does whitelisting rather than blacklisting.

When an external (out of china) domain is visited from within china (for the first time), it is blocked. It is then later unblocked.

I've experimented with this a few times, and it always happens like that.
