Exactly. This is the point.
If the date set in NPT happened to be 1960 rather than 1970 .... there would have been only four big countries with "legal" nuclear weapons.
Would China have considered it's own weapons "illegal" too?
China had no role is setting the date to be 1960 or 1970.
Would China still have held the NPT as a Pillar of High Non-proliferation standards, if it were asked to sign the NPT as a Non-Nuclear Weapon State?
In fact, I also wonder .... will China have ever joined United Nations if it were not offered a permanent member of UN Security Council?
I think China's approach would have been:
A. Better to be outside UN, that being a less equal (than USA or anybody else).
B. Better be outside NPT than being a less equal (than NWS).
Interestingly, India has done similar to what China would have done in case of (B), but not in case of (A).
Though, it's trying to sort out (A) from within UN.
That is one reason, it has in reality already achieved a de-facto (B).
(A) would not be achieved as easily as (B).
Only losers will complain like that.
There is a reason why only the P5 are legitimate nuclear powers while others are not, it is because only the P5 managed to developed nuclear weapon before anyone else. This is a race, you fail to meet the deadline, you lose. That is what India did, it failed to detonate that nuclear bomb before the NPT was established, therefore its nuclear weapons are illegal. But China detonated that nculear bomb before NPT was established, our nuclear weapons are legal. You lag behind, you lose.
And China is one of the P5 because China fought during WW2 as an independent country while India fought as British colony. The reason why we could be an independent country despite we were invaded by so many foreign countries is that we never surrendered ourselves like India did. In one word, we earned it.
Hence such thing like NPT being established before we developed a nuclear bomb and joining UN without permanent membership won't happen to China, but happened to India.
All of these things, NPT or UNSC, may seem to be occasional to you, but are bound to happen if we take all the differences between Chinese and Indians into consideration.

China fought WW2 as an independent country but with immense US military assistance and aid.
Chiang Kai Shek was almost a stooge of the US and Mao too joined in!!
Another flight on gossamer wings of fantasy is that they never surrendered.
Manchus?
Japanese?
Germans?
Americans?
British?
Any recall of these people?
Must we open up the Pandora's Box?
At least you need to tell it what is the difference in the temporary defeat and surrender.
As for the Manchus, they all are Chinese, the other even without meaning to mention.
Read up on the Treaty of Nanjing , which ended the First Opium war . That definitely counts as a surrender.
Temporary defeat, did not yield, even though we have repeatedly defeated, we do not surrender, otherwise, what do you think is the Boxer Rebellion? because we do not surrender, so China is only a semi-colonial, and must not become a full colony.
why not using simulator, instead of resuming nuke test?
Semi-colonial I agree , but signing a treaty is a sort of surrender - and a "rebellion " also inherently implies that you were under that particular Imperialistic power's control and then you rebelled against the control so in effect it was a surrender. But regardless , it does not mean much - Imperial britain with its navy and ground forces were the strongest power during that time so its nothing to be surprised or consternated about.
However I find it surprising that some Chinese members are bragging about us ( Indians ) being fully colonized and them being semi- colonized as because they are more brave , have more self respect blah blah blah ...
In fact I even saw a Jackie Chan film in which this idea was openly propagated to score a brownie point.
The fact is India was directly under the crown because of an accident of History . China neither had the natural resources , nor the strategic location nor the immense number of military manpower during the 18th and 19th centuries -- Britain was quite content to leave China semi-colonized , but unfortunately not us. Is that a lot to brag about..?

You think Why we do not have to be a colony, the Western forces have been strong enough, the problem is not power, but we will not stop the resistance, the original intention of the West is to completely split China, but in the Boxer Rebellion, they also know that Chinese People will never yield, so keep a Chinese Government, to indirect control of the Chinese people. We must not stop the resistance, has been extended to 1949, completely clear the imperialist forces.
