It is ICP license you talked about, you can find some information here: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/209714777-ICP-FAQ
It is almost impossible to register a .cn or .com.cn domain in China for a foreign company which do not have a legal entity in China, legally. The websites will be blocked for access by the ISP/Telco if the websites were hosted in China but do not have valid ICP licenses or even the IPs have not been registered to the government. if it is not that hard before, but it has more and more regulatory polices. For Letsencrypt, if you want to own the .cn or .com.cn domain legally, think of to set a legal entity in China.

But then CNNIC will want to see a photo of a passport showing the name of the person in full within a certain deadline, otherwise the domain would be suspended. A registrar gathers this from the intended registrant and they send it to CNNIC on your behalf, you don't send it directly to CNNIC. Of course there is distinction between a person and a company, if you're transferring to a company, you'll need business documents showing registration details. See this FAQ: https://cnnic.com.cn/IS/CNym/cnymyhfaq/#8_1 One more thing to be aware of not listed in the FAQ there: CNNIC will want to know if you will be using the domain within China, as that requires an ACP licence for any website hosted on port 80, 8080, or 443. Choosing "no" would mean the domain would resolve, but any website on it would be inaccessible within China and would only work abroad, since ACP licences *apparently* are only available to Chinese companies. What this effectively means for Let's Encrypt, you'd have the domain name to protect it, but wouldn't be able to use it within China unless you had an actual presence there and acquired an ACP licence. I registered a .cn domain some time ago, so just thought I'd share my knowledge. Good luck, and sorry it kinda goes outside the scope of this thread.
