Why Taiwanese/Local Readers Should Care
This case highlights that corrupt practices in Japan's construction industry are still occurring, posing a threat to the fairness of Taiwan's companies bidding in Japan. Daijō and Kajima are giants in the Japanese construction industry, and their guilty verdicts will serve as a warning to Taiwanese companies. It is crucial to be more vigilant about compliance issues when engaging in international cooperation.
