China Warns Against Excessive Gift Giving

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. China has issued a warning about moon cakes. Those sweet, round pastries are traditionally exchanged during a big autumn festival there. But China's ongoing crackdown on corruption has targeted excessive gift-giving. Apparently giving too many moon cakes falls into that category.
