Who are the people and companies that use CNNIC-issued certificates? CNNIC is a relatively recent addition to most browsers' lists of trusted CAs. Moreover, given the popularity of pirated & never-updated Windows XP in China, it would have been foolish for any serious Chinese business to use an SSL certificate from any vendor other than globally recognized ones like Comodo and Verisign.

I think WinXP has come with separate auto root update since RTM.

Did you know most Chinese browser vendors will explicitly disable SSL certificate validity check?

    360 browser accepts all certs, incl self signed. no warnings. also lol: 'high usage numbers are in large part due to the software being very difficult to uninstall. Furthermore, whenever a user attempts to install another browser, a warning pop-up claims that the new browser is unsafe and should not be run'
