The Taiwan Fact-Checking Center published a report on June 14, 2024, regarding a political figure claiming that the High-Speed Rail BOT case involved 'Government 0 Investment,' sparking social discussions on the funding sources for various construction projects. The investigation revealed that the government had initially invested 105.7 billion in the high-speed rail project and later injected at least 380 billion due to financial crises, thereby acquiring nearly half of the shares. The experts clarified that the 'Government 0 Investment' claim originated from promises made by the Taiwan High-Speed Rail Company and did not mean the government entirely avoided spending money. By 2015, the government had become the majority shareholder, debunking the notion of 'Government 0 Investment' and showcasing how BOT projects do not necessarily exclude government funding. Therefore, the political claim of 'Government 0 Investment' was deemed to be inaccurate.
