BEIJING Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey , Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's country code domain "" is now the world's most commonly used.
It had 16.36 million users by the end of last year, topping Germany's ".de," according to data released on Friday by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), which manages the domain.
The domain is also world leading in domain resolution service, security and the ratio of benign uses, said CNNIC head Li Xiaodong.
As China began to require real-name registration in 2009, the domain is able to protect users' interests and reduce online theft, phishing and fraud, Li said.
The domain is not only widely used by Chinese institutions and companies but also by overseas institutions and multinationals, according to the CNNIC.
It is used by all central and provincial governments in China and most telecom companies and commercial banks. Multinationals including Apple Inc., Microsoft, Samsung and Amazon own domain names.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Brazilian Federal Police found on Tuesday over 40 million reals (13 million U.S. dollars) in cash in an apartment believed to belong to former Minister Geddel Vieira Lima.
It is the largest seizure of cash the Federal Police have ever made. Seven money counting machines worked non-stop for the entire day to count the sum found in the apartment in Lima's hometown Salvador.
The money was found in 100- and 50-real bills, filling several large suitcases and boxes. Police believed the money was related to several corruption schemes in which Lima has been involved. He has been under house arrest for several months.
Lima is a member of the ruling Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB). He served as government secretary of President Michel Temer for six months, and left the administration in November 2016 after a scandal of influence peddling.
Lima reportedly tried to coerce former Minister of Culture Marcelo Calero into authorizing a real estate project owned by his family, which was barred by the Historical Patrimony Institute (Iphan) for affecting historical heritage sites.
Before that, during the previous administration of Dilma Rousseff, Lima served as a high-ranking official of state-owned bank Caixa from 2011 to 2013. At the time, PMDB was still the main allied party in Rousseff's coalition, but later turned against her and became one of the main forces behind Rousseff's impeachment.
