Intercohort upsurge of cognitive ability among the general population in China: Evaluating a Flynn effect
Yaqiang Qi, Yajie Xiong

A Flynn Effect of 3.5+ points per decade sounds modestly bigger than the Flynn Effects observed in the West over the same time period, suggesting the mainland Chinese improved moderately relatively to Europeans and Americans.
Chinese government policy is consciously eugenic. The argument that carried the day on modifying the one-child policy back around 2000 was that the policy was lowering Chinese IQ. The policy wasn’t as strictly enforced in the rural areas because peasants needed more sons for labor, and since rural Chinese have lower IQs generally than urban Chinese, the effect was dysgenic. The new policy permitted urban dwellers more than one kid if they paid a hefty fee, the argument being that those who could afford the fee would tend to be smarter.
The Nazis are always demonized for their eugenic policies encouraging smarter Germans to have more kids. But compare the Nazi approach to that of the Bolsheviks, who seized power in Russia 25 years before Hitler. The Bolsheviks specifically targeted Christian “intelligents” for liquidation, frequently murdering them with their wives and children. That we never hear about the Bolsheviks’ intentionally dysgenic slaughter proves the world’s media is in the hands of the perpetrators.
For decades, now, those same world media have been lionizing the “successful” Western career woman “bravely” choosing childlessness, while relentlessly promoting our own dysgenic policies, such as literally paying the poor to have more kids and allowing mass immigration from some of the lowest IQ countries on the planet.
I'd say that's pretty sinister.
