I'm pretty sure that sentence should be parsed as:

> Of course [China] would have [had an ICBM program] anyways, but it would have likely taken longer.

rather than

> Of course [Qian Xuesen] would have [defected] anyways, but it would have likely taken longer.

Yes I was referring to the ICBM program.

No idea what Xuesen would have done without McCarthyism, but he might have well ended up staying in the US.
