Yes, I would say that in general it has been welcoming.
I should add that for the past few decades, there was major youth activism in Taiwan, including the occupation of the legislatures a few years ago. A lot of this traffic is going back and forth in different directions. Some scholars have pointed out that some of the activism in Hong Kong was actually inspired by their Taiwanese counterparts. There is a lot of traffic among the young activists, and Taiwan, because of what's going on elsewhere, has become this hotbed for Chinese-speaking political activists.
