Mao was the reason why the population exploded. So of course he was against birth control. The only reason for these "official" because it was published studies is to rewrite history. Not about the issue of population control but a general theme that the Chinese can't govern themselves thus automatically assuming colonialism was better. And how is it that they conclude colonialism was better? Because no paper was written by them about how colonialism was bad for China. Yes it comes down to being that simple. And it justifies interference by outsiders into Chinese affairs today. The Chinese are too incompetent to know what's best for themselves because history shows it.
Where's the paper on the myths that this is all about humanitarian altruistic concerns?

Very interesting data on one measurement of racism around the world. China has room to improve, Taiwan and Pakistan are almost there. I half expected ROK and Japan to be the same, but Japan did better than expected, and South Korea worse. India being both the biggest democracy in the world and the most racially intolerant was surprising, to me anyway. On the other hand, neighbor preference is only one measure of racial intolerance, so maybe the map would look different with more measurements.

There's a HUGE problem with this kind of methodology: it's based on self-reporting. Countries where racial intolerance is less socially acceptable will obviously score lower on racial intolerance, since respondents will self-censor.
There are many issues with single response data like this, especially when couched within a study focused on a different topic. Usually this leads to gross oversimplification of the passing topic which leads to invalid assumptions and extrapolations of the single response which is exactly what happened here. More useful to read these analyses in response to this article by an ethnic conflict professor:

Complete and utter bullshit research. Counting who you don't want to have as neighbour has absolutely no co-relation to racism or racist attitude people exhibit.
The prevalent racially motivated murders in USA, Australia, New Zealand and much of the supposedly developed countries individually far exceed that of any non-caucasian countries.
It is almost unheard of in China to see racially motivated violent crime. Majority of racially motivated violent crimes in asia are almost always perpetrated by locals against Chinese - eg. Malaysia 1969, Indonesia of various period (particularly 1997 riot), Philippine,Vietnam of various period etc...
