The United States government has now decided on deployment of an anti-ballistic missile system directed specifically against a possible Chinese attack. The Chinese interpret this as the beginning of an anti-Chinese military alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union, which has already started to deploy an A.B.M. system of its own.
Mrs. Young, author of Nations and Nuclear Weapons, discusses some of the far-reaching implications of these and other recent developments in the field of arms control.
