China warns again of dark side of the mooncakes

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's crackdown on corruption, a scourge Communist Party leaders fear threatens their hold on power, is likely to last at least another five years, an official said, warning also against the mid-autumn tradition of handing out mooncakes as gifts.

Wang Qishan, secretary of China's anti-corruption watchdog, was quoted as saying the government's "campaign against extravagance and corruption" would continue for at least five years, the official China Daily said.
