From BBC News:

In order to present a more colorful personality of Mr. Hu Jintao, CCP’s official media site, People’s Daily Online had an article about Hu’s paper-cutting skills on October 7, 2007 (see the picture). This story has caused a new wave of satirical comments from Chinese bloggers, read here, here and here (in Chinese).
