China has always had veto power and has always been a permanant member of the SC, ever since the inception of the UN in 1945.

The nationalist government sat on the SC with veto power until the 70s, then as the world recognized the communist government as the legitimate representation of China, it was transfered to the CCP.

China's seat as a permanant member of the SC with veto power was not added in the 70s, if that's what you meant.
