Yes, just state that you are from Taiwan and its basically understood. You can also state that you are a Taiwanese, but its safer if you tell others that you are from Taiwan and you can safer than telling them you are Taiwanese. Just calling yourself Chinese and they will largely think that you are from mainland China and not the Taiwan province itself. As there are so many province in China, its better and clearer that you state yourself as I am from Taiwan than Taiwanese or even Chinese.

You're Taiwanese. If you're pro-China, and you want to call yourself Chinese, there's no problem there. But if you're like me, where my grandparents were also born in Taiwan, you're Taiwanese. Taiwan man is grammatically incorrect. I'm a MAN from Taiwan... hehehe. All in all, Taiwanese is the best answer.
