Chinese Internet users will be able to browse for domain names written in Chinese characters starting in August.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which oversees the internet domain name system, approved internationalized domain names (IDNs) for China, Hong Kong and Taiwan on Friday.

It means ".ZhongGuo(.中国)," as the Chinese top-level domain, will be formally integrated into the global Internet root domain system.

China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) has finished technical work and billions of netizens using the Chinese language worldwide will be able to surf the Internet by entering Chinese-language domain names in August.
