More information:

.政府 is a Hani Chinese IDN gTLD, translating to "public affairs" and equated to ".gov", being proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Net-Chinese.

The application was issued a GAC Early Warning from Hong Kong and Japan. 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 Chinese warning states that the applicant is "problematic and should not proceed", and that the string is confusingly similar to government owned and operated sites though it has no widespread and official government purposed. The Japanese warning notes that the word is also used in Japanese and enumerates the same confusion and potential to compromise government entities.
