MOSCOW, April 21—The Soviet Union, in its first comment on the apparent warming of relations between the United States and Communist China, denounced the Chinese today “for quickly coming to terms with those whom it had just called enemies.”

An article in New Times, the authoritative foreign‐affairs weekly, said that instead of seeking to restore normal relations with the countries of the Soviet bloc, the Chinese were turning toward the United States to further their nationalistic interests.

The article, signed by a commentator identified only as L. Kirichenko, was summarized by Tass, the Soviet press agency. The current issue of the weekly, which appears in several languages, including English, will reach subscribers tomorrow.

Accusing the Chinese of playing “a diplomatic game,” New Times said:

“The political practices of the Maoists have shown that they can easily betray friends and quickly come to terms with those whom they had just called enemies, and that they can repudiate the principles they once proclaimed if they consider it in the great‐power nationalistic interests of Peking.”

New Times said that China's foreign policy remained basic ally the same despite what was termed “some new aspects in Peking's recent moves.” It said that the policy was designed to “win a place for China as a world power capable of imposing its decisions on other states.

The magazine asserted that the United States, In return for Peking's conciliatory gestures of inviting a table tennis team and admitting American news men, had taken “minor steps” of its own, including the easing of trade restrictions.

“But it follows from statements of United States officials,” the article went on, “that the United States does not intend to liquidate its bases on Taiwan and to return the island to China.

“As to China's representation in the United Nations, Washington is prepared as a present to Peking to offer the latter the two‐China formula.”

The Soviet commentator appeared to be saying to Peking that its basic claim to Taiwan and to being the sole government of China would evidently not be met by the United States despite the recent gestures on both sides.

New Times also accused the Chinese of interfering in the affairs of India and Pakistan. This was an apparent allusion to recent Chinese backing of the Pakistanis in their efforts to suppress the independence movement in East Pakistan.

The article, the first major attack on Chinese foreign pol icy to appear in the Soviet media for some time, does not carry the weight that an article in Pravda, the Communist party newspaper, might have but it represented an authoritative outlet for Soviet attitudes.
