AP Special Correspondent William L. Ryan reports another Chinese nuclear test, the seventh since 1964, signaling faster progress in long-range missiles. The test could pressure the incoming Nixon administration toward a renewed U S missile buildup and potentially spur Soviet arms growth, complicating East West talks and widening the nuclear gap. China’s program, once rapid, faced disruption during the Cultural Revolution but appears to be restoring momentum, with possible long-range missile deployments and provocative regional tests looming.
