Starting to realize why my Taiwanese gf hates China with a passion.

She likes Trump. Taiwanese have huge respect for him having the balls to stand up to China

Most Taiwanese hate China, or at least the Chinese Communist Party. Thing is, a lot don't even know about the atrocities the CCP committed in the past, only their current atrocities.

Taiwan has its own problems to deal with internally. The Democratic Progressive Party took over and has won the past 2 general elections. They've successfully brainwashed most of the youth and won the culture war there, just like the Democrats in America. They've stolen elections and even stolen Kuomintang's funds. Majority of the population believe that Kuomintang are the bad guys, when the opposite is true. They've been indoctrinated to think that Kuomintang supports the CCP and vice versa.

Anyway, just a bit of info for you to know, in case you ever discuss these things with your GF. She's probably a DPP supporter, so be careful talking politics with her. DPP people are like leftists here in America.

We talk politics all the time, Taiwanese have very western values and a good sense of humour. I joke about how racist she is whenever she starts up on China

The current party in power wants to be more independent from China.

For instance they are now in the process of removing the word China from Taiwanese passports.

The opposition party leader is known for being in love with the CCP and wanting to reduce, if not abolish their independence

That's what the recent large scale protests in Taiwan (and Hong Kong also) were basically about.
