It appears that .CN is the first registry to officially recognize domain investors in their registry regulations. Since China applies different rules to registrants in their country as the ones for registrants outside China, it will be interesting to see if both set of rules will change. So far I cannot see any announcement on it in the English news on their website.

China Alters Definition of Cybersquatting

China will narrow the meaning of “cybersquatters” and will now only use the term to refer to those who register Internet domain names and sell them to rivals of a company that owns the rights to the name.According to the latest definition offered by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), the country’s .CN domain name administrator, cybersquatters will no longer be referred to those who register a domain name “for the purpose of selling or renting it”. It now refers to those who actually “sell or rent it to competitors of a company whose rights are infringed upon.”
