This is one of the most articulate explanations of KMT. You hit it on the nail that KMT isn’t so much pro-Communists as it is pro China.

But, How would you separate one from the other (China from government)?

Sounds like a strawman for them

The majority of Taiwanese people do not even consider themselves partially Chinese and none of the major political parties have any interest in political unification with China.

Some people in Taiwan might wish the people of China well because they have family there, but this is no different to how members of the Chinese diaspora around the rest of the world feel about the country.

The pro-China political parties in Taiwan are primarily right-wing parties, which is to say they are much more interested in the Chinese market than in Chinese politics.

The same way you can be pro-Korea and anti-communist or, in the past, pro-Germany and anti-communist...

'China' does not mean the People's Republic of China, which is the communist state that occupies mainland China (from KMT's point of view). Taiwan is China, too.
