.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.

.政府 是一个国际化通用顶级域名。该域名已被纳入ICANN的新通用顶级域名计划。申请人为网路中文公司。

政府咨询委员会（GAC）的香港和日本代表在该申请提出早期提出了警告。警告一旦提出，则被视为由国家级政府向ICANN董事会提出建议将申请否决。

香港的警告认为该申请“充满问题且不应被提上日程”。尽管该域名并没有广泛传播或用于任何与政府相关事物的倾向，其与一些政府所有并运行的网站相似并对公众具有迷惑性。而日本的警告则认为“政府”一词在日语中也有运用，他们也列举了与香港的警告相同的担忧。
