I've had several requests for TLD ".xn--czru2d" denied by them recently.

After applying for renewal (I've repeatedly renewed since 2015), they now 
send an email directing you to go to their website and email them additional 
information. This is what it says on their website:

If your Mandarin is as non-existent as mine, they're basically asking for 
official documents on the level of trying to open a corporate bank account 
at a bank.

Of course I had submitted all the information required by the CZDS 
application process through the ICANN website. Two weeks later they denied 
my application, with this "explanation":

"the CZDA Provider may reject the request for access of any user that does 
not satisfy the credentialing requirements in Section 2.1.2..."

Surely this is not correct. Any process involving submitting documents by 
email would not scale to about 1200 zones in CZDS, even if it was done in 
English.
