Typical inept Chinese attempt at war of "losing face". They just do not understand the word plausible or some top Chinese Internet managers do not know basic Internet technology .
Domain registrars only control who owns domain names. LOL many do not even run name servers to match domain names to IPs.
The idea of SECRET but reserved domain names is sort of silly and pointless, the feeblest of security through obscurity with total reliance on obscurity. Apparently they expected to spread the domain name only by word of mouth and that the news media would not leak the name.
The nation that claims the history of building the Great Wall ought to think about simple use of firewall blocking at their Internet portals to the world. At least implement their simplistic access ideas in firewall rules that allow in country only trusted (whitelisted) agents from outside China by IP. Still not secure but taking some of the responsibility.
