Chinese Blogger Declines Comment on Reported Hoax

A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

A Chinese journalist whose Web log temporarily closed down in an incident that sparked criticism of how Western media cover China declined on Saturday to confirm or deny he had played a hoax.

Wang Xiaofeng, whose blog is known as "Massage Cream," said repeatedly he did not want to talk about the incident after Reuters and other foreign news media reported on March 8 that his and another blogger's sites had been shut down by the government.

Reuters reported the blogs reopened the next day in a story that said the incident might have been a prank.
