I hate to break it to you, but this seems to be just another of those
come-ons spammed out by various scummy businesses that trawl WHOIS
databases for people to scam into buying extra/unnecessary domain
names. Google "chinese domain scam" for more info. I've received
similar spams after having registered some .com domains that no
corporation could possibly legitimately want the .cn equivalents of.

Additionally, the two most obvious relevant domains were already
registered by non-PSF parties years ago, and aren't set to expire
imminently. Per https://ewhois.cnnic.cn :

Domain Name: python.cn
Registrant: 北京开心杯科技有限公司
Registrant Contact Email: ****@happylatte.com
Registration Time: 2003-03-17 12:20:05
Expiration Time: 2017-03-17 12:48:36

Domain Name: python.org.cn
Registrant Contact Email: ****@lxl.cn
Registration Time: 2007-04-12 14:02:16
Expiration Time: 2016-04-12 14:02:16
