Partnerships
HiChina have recently partnered with Afilias, who are now recognized by HiChina as their leading TLD partner in China. Afilias' Senior Vice President Roland LaPlante has said of the partnership that, "With the tremendous rise of Chinese language on the Internet, our partnership will enable Chinese brands to present their domains in Chinese script rather than in English alone."[2]
