Access to TLDs is supported by a federation called Public-Root, which emerged due to
Oh well
As for china they have been saying a whole lot of things, several quite contradictory to each other
For now they're [I think] pressing for more accountablity + oversight role for the ICANN GAC ..

Chinese root-servers or Public-Root. ICANN does not want them. They dont want ICANN either. European ISPs and Asian ISPs do change to the Public-Root because their customers need to send emails to each other. Curiously enough their is no SPAM on Public-Root email addresses. I thought the spammers were located in Asia and Europe only? In Africa there is not much internet technology yet. They build on chinese technology because it is cheap and China supports their needs. What if their need is censoring and perfect control? And who controls ICANN? I am afraid they are out of control - reading their mailing lists and reading the people who cry for unsubscribe.
