China has no rights to manage J root mirror image server established in China by America Verisign company which also directly masters all the log files and program files in the server.

Since Dec. 26, undersea cable connecting China to the United States was severed due to disruption caused by the Taiwan earthquake, which caused Internet connection disruption between the two countries since. And a large range of .com websites are unable to be visited in more than 10 major cities in China

It is more disturbing to see that American companies make use of the convenience of grasping Internet root server to spy and monitor our country’s Internet information. Recently, the news that China Netcom Group and America Verisign Company jointly launched China mirror image server with Internet root domain names has attracted media’s great attention. Media say this measure will accelerate the speed of visiting domain names out of China mirror image server and strengthen the security and stability of our country’s Internet as well.

However, it is far from true. The root domain name mirror image server provided by the America commercial company Verisign has constraints on the acceleration of speed and has little effect upon strengthening of China’s Internet security. Instead, it is convenient for American companies to monitor the visit data of China Internet. said Qian Hualin, chief scientist of Network Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It is known that China has two root mirror image servers before which were established by neutral non-profit international organizations in China. The company of Verisign which established J root mirror image is the administrator of NET and COM domain name registration. It has been questioned by users because of "price monopoly" and "leaking information".

Internet security experts who preferred to remain anonymous, said when Verisign establish J root mirror image server in China, the Chinese side does not have any management authority. China can not contact log files, program files in the server which are managed directly by America’s company.

Experts have expressed a serious concern. China has two root mirror images before. The management of neutral international organization guarantees their higher security and reliability. But if China's Internet log of visit surrenders to foreign business, the potential security problems will suddenly rise. Experts explained that Verisign can absolutely get access to the visit log and know Internet users’ visit information and even the websites in China. And they can also get the visit characteristics of important organizational and official websites. In this way, china’s netizens’ visit habits, visit information and website information will be completely exposed to surveillance of the United States
