There are over 500 million Chinese speaking Internet users worldwide. Among these Chinese speaking users and the general population, the term “网址” (“web address” in English) is the most recognized term referring to web addresses. For the majority of novice or new Chinese speaking Internet users, other web address terms such as “IP address,” “domain name,” or other terms are not known, but the term “网址” (“web address” in English) is commonly used when searching for web pages. Since many Chinese speaking Internet users have trouble remembering and spelling English and⁄or ASCII character domains such as “google.com,” they currently have no better choice than to rely on what are popularly referred to as “web address directories” or search engines to help them navigate to the web page(s) they want to visit. According to a comprehensive study on Chinese Internet user’s habits conducted by the [[CNNIC|China Internet Network Information Center]] (CNNIC), it was found that 94.45% of Chinese Internet users surveyed expressed a strong willingness to use native Chinese language IDNs to navigate to web pages. We hope that by introducing the “.网址” (“web address” in English) gTLD, we can enable Chinese speaking Internet users to conveniently use their native language to utilize the Internet.
