You actually think China will be the first to ban DNSSEC? Maybe, but It will probably be banned first indirectly, by governments legislating requirements of SPs that are incompatible with DNSSEC. The repression is at home in the form of the US PROTECT IP bill that will provide a framework for DNS authorities, domain registries, and ISPs/operators of non-authoritative nameservers to be sent letters requiring them to modify DNS responses for other organization's domains based on allegations/suspicions. -- -JH
