What the trustee service does is allows us to register the domain on your behalf but the domain remains offline. This service is for companies and individuals that wish to prevent others from cyber-squatting their domain names in China.

To use the trustee service all you need to do is submit your order and then follow the instructions in the CN Application email (Point 5) that will be sent to you.
