citic (.citic)

The .citic domain extension is a branded generic top level domain owned and operated by CITIC Group Corporation, a major Chinese state-owned investment conglomerate based in Beijing. It was delegated in April 2014 and is intended for the exclusive use of CITIC and its affiliated entities. Registration is restricted to the CITIC Group itself, meaning it is not a publicly available namespace for general registration. The domain uses DNS infrastructure provided by zdnscloud with IPv4 and IPv6 name servers. As a branded TLD, .citic functions much like a digital trademark, giving the company tight control over its online presence. The IANA record lists administrative and technical contacts at CITIC Tower in Beijing's Chaoyang District, underscoring its corporate ownership. There are no known registrars offering .citic domains to the public.
