TSMC's bet on global dominance pays off after decades of planning

How much assistance/funding/etc does Taiwan's government provide TSMC at this point? Is it basically like Samsung where it is essentially an arm of the government?

I googled some initial funding of course back in the day, but didn't get much info on current day.

TSMC is viewed by some as being so critical to the modern economy and information technology that it basically ensures China won't invade Taiwan because of the extremely strong response that would provoke from all the other countries of the world.

Given China's sustained assertion of its territorial rights and burgeoning power, that becomes more and more important.

And with the huge cost of new-process Fabs in the 10s of billions, that also almost requires governmental coupling if you aren't in a sufficiently large economy.

Winne the Pooh threatened war unless Taiwan hands over their crown jewel. If they are smart they will ship old process nodes to the mainland so Xi has a PR win and they maintain business as usual
