As Friday marked the Communist Party of China's 90th anniversary, the party has acknowledged that corruption issues have threatened to harm its rule.

"If corruption does not get solved effectively, the party will lose the people's trust and support," warned Hu Jintao, the party's General Secretary and China's President in a 90-minute televized speech on the occasion.

"If not effectively curbed, corruption will cost the party the trust and support of the people. The whole party must remain vigilant against corruption," he said.

Hu did not mention that the party intends potential reforms concerning media freedom and independence of the judiciary.

Some 6 000 tom communist party members gathered at the Tiananmen Square in Beijing to attend the official celebrations.
