More information:

.广州 is an IDN geoTLD being proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program, which refers to the Chinese region of Guangzhou. The applicant is Guangzhou YU Wei Information Technology Co., Ltd.

The application was issued a GAC Early Warning by China. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.

The warning states that the applicant is applying for a Geo TLD without government support, and that the string can therefore not be delegated.
