What's the shortest URL in China?

What's the answer?

Its g.cn. It links to the Google China web site. Google China uses this URL because many people in China can't remember G-O-O-G-L-E. So the Google China Company decided to use this URL as one of the 'entrance' to Google.cn.

This step is considered the 'most important steps that Google has taken for localization in China', according to China Tech News.
