"The government plans to introduce a system that will require companies involved in public works projects ordered by the central government to report any unreasonable demands they receive from crime gangs. The envisaged system would impose penalties on companies that neglect to do so. The system is aimed at preventing crime gang-linked businesses from making profits by intimidating companies that are awarded contracts into giving them subcontracts."
