Not entirely. They (or should I say we? I'm originally from Taiwan) were originally anti-communism Chinese nationalists, yes, but the nationalist party has grown more like the Republican party today - pro-business, pro-CCP. The other party is pro-independence but culturally liberal. So both parties are fucked, and the older generation of Taiwanese immigrants are the likes of Ted Lieu and Judy Chu.

That being said, the supporters of the pro-independence and anti-CCP side (also the young generation) is very happy with president Trump's anti-CCP stance. They are also the side that used to occupy their Capitol most peacefully for 22 days to protest a sellout trade deal with China.
