CNNIC is no ordinary CA we are talking about that fears out-of-service. Just like what its name states: China NIC, it is the entity that runs and manages whole block of Chinese part of internet, doing IP allocations and things like that.
even if everybody decides to take CNNIC root out of their system, I doubt how much it would influence the CNNIC.
- bigiain 12y agoAt a first guess - any Chinese business wanting to do business with non-Chinese would then have websites which throw up warnings about their CNNIC issued SSL Certs. Surely _some_ of them would see a competitive advantage o the market by going to a non-CNNIC cert? And if the rules make that awkward, surey some of them will choose to host competitive customer marketing sites outside The Great Firewall? By selling inappropriately powerful certs to MCS Holdings, there's a chance they're going to lose some of their understood-but-ignored ability to MITM some (many?) Chinese corporate connections from outside China.
