Google took a censorship stand against the Chinese government when it moved its search engine to Hong Kong, but Google's bold stance could be risky, potentially costing Google ad revenue and customers. Offering services via Hong Kong will put a strain on Google servers there, causing slowdowns that may spur users to move to Baidu.
Google is attempting to prove a point to the Chinese government, but some believe its stance comes with a hefty price tag. Google recently moved its search services, Google News and Google Images from Google.cn to Google.com.hk in an effort to make a point to the government in China.
