...satellite cameras record roads, railways, steel mills, oil wells, nuclear plants, missile ranges and troop movements. U.S. Government analysts early spotted China's gaseous diffusion plant at Lanchow, the plutonium reactor at Paotow, and the atom-bomb test site at Lop Nor in the Taklamakan wastes of Sinkiang. They have predicted well in advance the timing of all three Chinese atomic explosions...
...bomb was not H. Seismographs monitoring the Chinese test site in Sinkiang province indicated a wallop of only 130 kilotons. The Atomic Energy Commission found traces of lithium 6, a thermonuclear material right enough, but the major element in the explosion was enriched uranium-the same as in Peking's two earlier tests. China's first H-bomb will probably be a triple-stage fission-fusion-fission monster of the same "dirty" quality as the giant Khrushchevian 40-megaton bombs that were exploded prior to the 1963 test ban. Those bombs are too big to be delivered...

But this was not all.

...Delhi, the Indians charge that Pakistan has received a $67 million loan from Peking to rebuild its shattered armed forces, claim that a daily air shuttle from Sinkiang into Pakistan is carrying Red Chinese small arms to outfit three new Pakistani divisions. "There is an almost poisonous atmosphere between the two countries," said a top Shastri aide last week. "To expect any dramatic results [in Tashkent] seems to be rather impractical." Since the heart of the Indo-Pakistani dispute remains Kashmir, a problem which neither the U.N. nor the big powers have been able to arbitrate successfully for 18 years...
