.desi and China ICP filing
.desi is not on the extension list in China’s MIIT “Chinese Internet domain name system” page. Alibaba Cloud’s filing guide says suffixes not on the list cannot be used for ICP filing and that the registrar must also be approved by MIIT; being listed is a precondition only, not a guarantee that filing succeeds.
