Dead domains: yahoo.cn and yahoo.com.cn

Yahoo announced a shutdown of Yahoo Mail in China (yahoo.com.cn and yahoo.cn) to take place back in 2015. In 2019, the domains seemed to be resurrected , but they’ve since gone dead again, as the MX records for each domain point at nothing.
And since Yahoo just announced that they are fully pulling out of China , you can consider that the final answer. That, as they say, is that.
I'm guessing that the resurrection I stumbled across in 2019 might have had something to do with the transition of Yahoo Mail's Chinese users to Alibaba ? But I don't have an easy way to confirm it, and at at this point, it doesn't really matter, as there's not much a sender can do about it today. (Were the Yahoo domains ever that big in China, anyway? I was always more concerned with delivery to qq.com, 163.com, 126.com, and a handful of others. Yahoo was never on my top domain list for China.)
