All the DNS servers that you will use will point to some other DNS server, then to some other DNS server, and eventually get to the ICANN top level DNS server.
For China all of their DNS servers will point to some other DNS server, etc. which will eventually point to China's top level DNS server.
I run my own DNS server for my internal sites. All DNS requests resolve to my DNS server. If my DNS server cannot find the name, the request is sent to an outside DNS server, in this case UT. If UT cannot resolve the DNS request they sent it to who knows where. Eventually a DNS server is located in the tree that has the information. This DNS server may very well be the ICANN top level DNS server. It most certainly will never be a DNS server in China.
As long as no DNS server outside of China points to any DNS server in China, then the name resolution will not be a problem. China effectively becomes a large private network, like what I have only larger, and all DNS requests stay within China.
In effect each country could run their own DNS server and really control what their people are exposed to on the internet. It is a pain and pointless if you want to expand beyond your own country. But China does not want outside influence and this will effectively block getting information from outside of China. |

Perhaps if your in China, but not US internet networks or global internet networks.
China will basically be creating and operating an "intranet" with restricted access to the global internet.
I think China do what they want, but they crossed the line by trying to underhand the set global standards by interfering with set top level domains like .com, they should be shunned. |
