Amazon Relaunches Its Chinese Website

Last week Amazon relaunched its local Chinese website with a new name and a new URL. The last traces of Joyo, a Chinese web retailer Amazon bought 7 years ago, is gone.

The site, which was previously labeled “joyo Amazon” is now simply called Amazon, and it even has a new and spelling.  It’s difficult to convey in English, but the old name used a different phonetic translation of Amazon.  Clearly Amazon is using the change to mark the point where this local site became a true part of Amazon and not just a local sub.
