answering myself. 

Apparently, these are scammers:

On November 30, 2020, we received an application from Hongxin Ltd requested "qgis" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (qgis.cn, qgis.com.cn, qgis.net.cn, qgis.org.cn). But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your business partner in China?
