Yes, just like if Glenn Beck really did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990 he would be very adamant about his non-involvement and would work very hard to expose the actual culprit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_v._Eiland-Hall

I'm sorry, I really do not see the parallel here.
A parody is just that, we're talking about a several day long real attack here.
And if you read that article you'll see Beck sued to get the domain. So it's not like he ignored it, and besides it was obvious from the beginning that he wasn't the one that registered the domain.
The more that comes out and the more silence there is from the Chinese government the less it looks like a false flag operation. Usually the victim of a false flag operation (China in this case, not github) would be very adamant about its non-involvement and would work very hard to expose the originator.
