Brett Watson has the right of it. Let's not waste time on definitions. They may not be taking over .com, but they can. Point is, even if they don't - they control the system and provide with ccTLD's and domain names in the Chinese language. That *is* an alternate root.
Like I wrote, this doesn't change the world one bit and no one is going to die, but it's how it is.

Call it what you like… a vulnerability, a feature or a bug, it still bites.
