Oh lala. The tor developers should fix this issue. This is a extremly high security risk for people who need anonymity while using the internet from inside a "torture country" and use a rule like ExcludeNodes CN,HK, but are connected to fake servers hosted by the "torture governemnt" that uses a manipulated country identifier to hunt enemies. This could be a question of beeing imprisoned or not for those people.
