Because everything I described in my previous comment can be done with 20 year old non-advanced encryption and cannot be thwarted by any advanced encryption (or quantum anything).
However, if ICANN subjects a TLD to a new “Registry Operator Code of Conduct” [due to a new globalist contract that favors China of course], that backdoor could be slammed shut.
Because things like TOR are independent of TLD operations. Like I said in my previous comment, I get my server and IP address from digital ocean, and they and I don't have to deal with any TLD operators. We are not subject to any ICANN rules except indirectly and if those rules were stupid we could ignore them (but that would turn the internet into a nameless mess, see below).
Otherwise, China has a cassis belli to escalate cyber-attacks.
They use that excuse already. They are constantly at war against tech like TOR because they say (correctly) that it is full of illegal content. The current and coming cyberwars use TOR already. They use illegal botnets set up on ordinary people's computers that got hacked. The entire dark web is a giant mess because it is not under anyone's control and the criminals like it that way.
When you think about your scenario, China taking over ICANN, think about it this way: Look up how people try to access the dark web and sift through all the crap to get what they want. Read the link in my previous comment. I can barely figure out what he is doing and how he is going about it and I am an internet geek. Imagine if everyone had to do that instead of typing "ford.com".

China DDoS attack shows not all TLD servers equally secure
http://www.csoonline.com/article/738803
The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that took down a portion of China’s Internet over the weekend demonstrates that the strength of the global network varies greatly across domains.
Servers running China’s “.cn” top level domain (TLD) came under attack Sunday starting at about 2 a.m. Eastern time. The China Internet Network Information Center, which runs the TLD servers, confirmed the attack and apologized to affected users.
The organization said it was working to “enhance the service capabilities” of the system, but did not provide any more details.
[snip — more on followup posts to all]
Thank you for your patience. I’m really, really glad there are workarounds that can bypass TLDs.
Like you said, it would be chaos.
I’m just now loading info about ‘digital ocean’.
One thing — China is attracting a lot of unicorn companies ...
“Lin estimates that more unicorn firms are likely to appear in service fields including big data, cloud computing and mobile health.”
A total of 70 unicorns out of 173 [unless this is sheer propaganda from China]

What makes this worse is that Chinese tech talent is not as eager to work for Western employers. As they learn on-the-job more and more of them would prefer to leave their Western employers and start working for a true Chinese employer instead.
