> The decision that Google has made is unacceptable and unintelligible to CNNIC

Deciding to not let a company, with the ability to MITM users worldwide, that did not have systems in place to avoid misuse, continue to have that ability?

They also seem to be under the conception that they're in a position to accept or not accept the outcome. That's now this works.

If only CNNIC took being a CA as seriously as they do writing angry press releases.

> That's now this works.

Correcting self: that's /not how/ this works.

That's quite a different response from the Google perspective. They make it seem like they came to the mutual decision to remove the CA, not that they kicked out CNNIC.

The decision that Google has made is unacceptable and unintelligible to CNNIC,

Standard language of the authoritarian mindset, everywhere.
