Taking the icing off moon cakes

The complaints of some government officials against rules that bar them from receiving or gifting moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival suggest that they are yet to accept the higher authorities' drive to fight corruption and ensure fair allocation of resources. It is expected that the officials will get used to not receiving extra benefits once a permanent welfare system is established, says an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph. Excerpts:

This Mid-Autumn Festival, most government officials didn't get extra benefits in the form of gifts because of the Chinese leadership's austerity drive. Many of the officials have even used the Internet to complain against the "financial loss" they suffered because of the anti-corruption campaign.
