Google has redirected its www.google.cn to the new Simplified Chinese section of Google Hong Kong, with the message "欢迎您来到谷歌搜索在中国的新家" - "Welcome to the new search home of Google China".
"新家" in Chinese means "a new home", it sometimes refers to a new station, a new base, a new homepage, etc (as a general Chinese writing style). However, in this case, I guess they really want to emphasize the meaning of this phrase, a real "new home".
Let's share your thoughts.
