The West has a great, big, gigantic 3rd rail which constrains all thought on this subject: Nazi Germany. They were eugenicists who put less desirable peoples into the camps, and because of that all thought vis a vis genetic selection for desirable traits is highly charged. Science is having a very hard time trying to investigate the genetic links to intelligence because of the stink of eugenics.
China does not have this emotional baggage, of course, so they do it as a matter of course.

They're just trying to fix the immense genetic damage inflicted upon them by decades of communist rule.
They know what waits if they fail. Complete population collapse.
