The links you provided relate to China’s PR releases about female Chinese scientists and researchers. Whether they’re true or not (that is, China’s actual intentions and thoughts about gender equality), I submit that the Chinese are highly xenophobic, racist, and insular. That is a positivist statement and I make no negative normative claim about it - as I said, if anything I can understand why the Chinese are that way, and it appears to be paying off. The fact is, China is one of the most racially homogenous countries on earth. I’m not even sure how a China committed to racial diversity would differ from how it looks now, except that it would allow immigration from other countries (which it almost invariably does not, currently).
As to blacks, the latest data I saw (a few weeks ago) showed that blacks had fallen even further behind whites and Hispanics during the pandemic in terms of education. I suppose you will reply by saying that’s because it’s reported at the population level instead of in a study, and that it isn’t a fair comparison. The logic would be that if blacks are already disadvantaged, then the pandemic would affect them even more.
I will do some research before I say anything else.

In China, people aren't allowed to complain about it. > blacks had fallen even further behind whites and Hispanics during the pandemic in terms of education. It only makes sense that those whose parents are less educated will suffer more when kept out of school, with school being a driving factor in closing the education gap. Children of recent African immigrants don't have this problem, but while recent skilled Asian immigrants outnumber descendants of unskilled Asian immigrants, the same is not true for African-Americans. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2015-10-13/it-isn-t-just-asian-immigrants-who-excel-in-the-u-s- https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2015-10-13/it-isn...
