On the afternoon of Friday 24th October, the world leader in Chinese domain names, TLD Registry opened its new China headquarters in Beijing's Zhongguancun, also known as "China's Silicon Valley".

Home to an overwhelming majority of domestic and international tech and internet industry leaders, Zhongguancun is a thriving high tech district and the perfect base for our China region operations.
