The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused a Washington Post reporter today of defying Government regulations in reporting a dissident's purported account of his imprisonment in a Peking jail and a provincial labor camp. It was the strongest admonition issued to a member of the foreign press here si nce American journalists were allowed to open newsgathering offices here two and a half years ago. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said Michael Weisskopf, The Post's Peking correspondent, had violated Article XII of provisional regulations adopted by the State Council in May regulating foreign journalists in China. The article states that ''The journalistic activities of resident correspondents shall not go beyond the limit of normal news coverage.'' Until today, that limit had not been defined.

The legal wrangle that culminated in yesterday's ruling overturning Governor Carey's cancellation of a rugby game involving the South African Springboks brings up a constitutional issue not previously addressed by the courts: whether an ostensibly apolitical sporting event is protected by the right to free speech. Only when that question is resolved, scholars say, can the courts engage in the more traditional balancing act between the First Amendment's protection and the need to maintain public order that the Springbok case presents. No one seems quite sure of the political views of the various Springbok players, whose tour of the United States has sparked bitter protests from opponents of apartheid in South Africa. But according to a friend-of-the-court brief filed yesterday by the New York Civil Liberties Union, the players' preferences are secondary. The union's attorneys asserted that the controversy surrounding the tour ha itself turned the game into a political event, thereby cloaking it in the broad protections of the First Amendment.

Because there is now little doubt that President Reagan's proposal to sell $8.5 billion in air defense materiel to Saudi Arabia is in significant difficulty in Congress, the Administration is confronted by a number of unappealing choices. Last week, even the Republican leader of the House said there seemed to be no question that the House would veto the proposed package, which includes the sale of five Airborne Warning and Control System planes, called Awacs. The Saudis would also get advanced airto-air missiles, flight-extending fuel tanks for F-15 fighters and other equipment. Last week, 50 members of the Senate, 18 of them Republicans, agreed to cosponsor a resolution of disapproval. A Republican senator later withdrew from that list, but his staff said he was ''leaning against'' the sale.

''IN another moment,'' Lewis Carroll wrote, ''Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind. 'So I shall be as warm here as I was in the old room,' thought Alice: 'warmer, in fact, because there'll be no one here to scold me away from the fire. Oh, what fun it'll be when they see me through the glass in here, and can't get at me!' '' Deeply wounded by the scolding of the Man in the Oval Office for not responding more enthusiastically to his benefactions, Wall Street has gone through the looking glass into a world where everything is topsy-turvy.
