Well, a few months ago, just about everyone on here was against IDN per se. It is clear that there is now a huge boom going on in dot CN and most of that will be IDN.cn related. But ask yourself how many domain extensions will actually be in demand in China given that it has a population 4 times the size of the US. The US seems to be actively using about 10 extensions at the present time. China will likely need 20 or 30, I think there will be room for dot com. The other place has a very large contigent of Chinese speaking members, most of them seem to be speculating in dot com.
The other thing you need to be aware of that the Chinese domain space is much tighter than the ASCII domain space. Wheras it probably takes 1M names to effectively saturate the ASCII domain space with Chinese there be fewer than 100K domains of a good calibre and those will eventually be worth an awful lot more.
The market in Chinese dot coms is evolving quickly and most of the players are Chinese. Sounds like a bad case of sour grapes to me!
