...Taiwan, which would end once and for all the myth of "one China." At present, the subject is taboo on Taiwan, mainly because of fear of the violent reaction from Peking that would almost certainly follow such a move. The second would be a threat by Taipei to play its so-called Russian Card, seeking Soviet aid to balance the threat from China. President Chiang spent more than a decade in the Soviet Union and his wife Faina is Russian, but his animosity to Communism in any form makes this course seem unlikely. The third factor is Taiwan...

Smith has ditched them for mellow production and a cute smile, letting pretense win out over her instinct to play the music hard.
