After the ".china" domain name, the Ministry of Information Industry plans to use numbers to represent English domain names, drawing质疑. (Note: The word "质疑" means "questions" or "doubts" in this context, so the sentence can be adjusted for better flow in English as follows: "After the '.china' domain name, the Ministry of Information Industry's plan to use numbers to represent English domain names has been questioned.")

On January 23, China's Decimal Cybersecurity Supervision Bureau and the Ministry of Information Industry announced in Beijing that "China’s decimal cybersecurity addresses will be put into use," introducing numeric domain names to replace traditional ones like "www.abc.com" with numbers such as "123456." It is claimed that this change "helps overcome language barriers."

The idea of devaluing English domain names and introducing numeric ones has left many netizens stunned, marveling at the creativity of the concept's originators. The "decimal network" itself has also sparked debate, with some netizens arguing that it lacks any real technological advancement.

After reading this report, there’s only one thing to say: "Too talented……." Really speechless!!!! Will our ID cards be represented by numbers in a few years?

(Note: The term "太有才了" can be humorously translated as "too talented" or "very creative" depending on context, often implying something so unusual it borders on absurd.)
