Sure. However, if South China and North China were actually different countries, you would notice a distinct differences in the trends between both.

And if Fujian somehow became a part of Taiwan, you might not notice much difference in CPC support between the province and the island.

Fujian is quite isolated from the rest of China. Until the modern era, the easiest way to get there was by sea.

Parts of Fujian are claimed by Taiwan.

Fujianese are also the most emigrant Chinese, it is rare to find one there who doesn’t have more than a few relatives abroad.

A special case to be sure.
