"CHINA will set up a mirror server for Chinese netizens to visit Websites whose domain names end with .com or .net, Sina.com reported today.

Instead of being served by overseas domain servers for making visits, the new server will provide a domain name system or "DNS" function of its own, which will guarantee the security for netizens visiting from China and also raise the linking speed."

This is obviously a move by the Communist government to monitor the activity of their people and disguised as a benefit to improve DNS. The question is if this is the beginning of the end for ICANN?
