Rebecca MacKinnon says it was a hoax, and worries that the CCP, not exactly famous for its ability to laugh at itself, may now hold a grudge against bloggers.
I hope Wen Jiabao’s office doesn’t get too angry at the blogosphere. That could be bad, especially given the recent rumors that new regulations dealing with blogs specifically could come out at the end of the year.

What’s the worst they can do? They can’t send thugs out to cut the fingers off of every blogger on the Mainland.

Sun, I had my reservations, but I never even looked at that blog. So that should tell you how much stock I put into it.
