WASHINGTON (AP) — Carter administration ~ officials are awaiting what they expect will be nervous but muted reaction from the Soviet Union to normalization of US. relations with China.

In the long run, the rearrangement of in- ternational order signalled by President Carter's decision Friday to normalize relations with China could set the Soviet Union off in any ane of a number of new directions.

There was no im- mediate public evaluation of the normalization

decision from Moscow on Saturday and U.S. of: ficials said they do not expect one for another day or two. They sald they assume. Soviet forelgn policy strategists made their basic ad- justment to the concept of new American ties with Peking six years ago, when then-President Richard Nixon visited China.

Bul the U.S. officials nonetheless aasume that normalization of U.S,- Chinese relations will only exacerbate the Soviet perception that they are encircled in East Asia by China and Japan, both of which will have strong ties to the United States and to each other, China and Japan signed treaties of friendship and economic co-operation last summer.

Waiting for the storm

U.S. officials believe the Soviet Union will try to live with the new Asian situation ag long as there is no military alliance formed between the U.S. and China. U.S. officials say they have no intention af selling arms to the Chineze.

But they have also recently sald other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organ- ization will decide for themselves whether to sell defensive arms to the Chinese. France, Britain and West Germany have been negotiating with the Chinese over possible

sales, ; Arms sales by the West would place the Soviet Union in a bind. The country already main- tains 43 military divisions on the disputed border with China, U.S. sources said, A further buildup on

the'border to counter new weapons from the West would divert badly needed resources from the Soviet civilian economy.

The Soviet reaction to the new state of affairs between the United States and China probably will be made clear later this week in Geneva, Switzer- land, when U.S. State: Secretary Cyrus Vance meets Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to try to wrap up the atrategic arms limitation package and arrange for a summit meeting. ;

In the long run, U.S. officials expect the Soviet Union to continue ites efforts to find new allies as a counter to the new Asian alignment. Some even expect renewed Soviet efforts to improve relations with Japan and China. ;
