Im Chinese and I see it in the older generation of Chinese. Although I think the younger generation is much better about this. The fear mongering about Communism unfortunately works on the older generation. You see this with Cubans and Venezuelans as well. They lived through tough times in their home country so the fear mongering works even though GOP doesn't actually care about them.
My older relatives actually voted Trump in 16, but through many shouting matches and heated arguments, I've finally made them see the light when it comes to Trump. They still lean conservative, but they finally understand what is at stake and how batshit the current GOP has become. If Mitt Romney were the candidate, they would probably still vote GOP, but I think some progress has been made here so I'm okay with it for now.
