To determine if a domain is eligible, one of the criteria below must be met: - - The domain's NS server is located in China. + - The domain's NS server is located in China mainland. - The domain will resolve to an IP located in China mainland when using a Chinese DNS server, but _not_ always do when using a foreign DNS server (For example, CDN accelerated sites that have node in China). This however does _not_ include those having node _near_ China mainland, like in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. - + Please don't add subdomains if the top domain is already in the list.

These domains are resolved to Google China servers when using a Chinese DNS.
