Against the background of "an almost unparalleled parade," as WFB describes it,

"of U.S. Government officials" through Taipei and Peking, it appeared that "the crisis point in U.S.-Taiwan relations" had been reached. But before getting to the crisis per se, Mr. Buckley questions his guests--on how the Republic of China is doing on civil liberties; how the indigenous Taiwanese would react if Mainland forces attacked; and on whether the United Nations should be invited in to conduct a plebiscite--and finds them passionately, indeed ferociously, protective of their adopted country. WFB: "You sound as though you were arguing with me about something." SS: "Yes, sir." WFB: "Who ever said that I believe that you should trust the Chinese Communists on anything? I mean, they don't trust themselves. I'm not sure you should trust the United States, so why should you trust the Chinese Communists?"
