You're not the only one. At my day job, we get dozens of these, about one or
two a month, and the first time it happened, I responded, at which point
they told us that if we paid $MANY we could register the domain <company
name>.cn before somebody else did.

At that point, we lost interest, as we have no business interests in China.
If somebody wants to register our name in China, let them.

I don't register domain names in countries - any domain name which ends
with 2 letters. If you want you can register my name in .cn or any other
country, I don't care.
