"In its cultural form, the Hua–Yi distinction assumed Chinese cultural superiority, but also implied that outsiders could become Chinese by adopting Chinese values and customs."
What it means is Chinese identity is tied to culture, rather than tied to the actual physical body.
The author's article's point amounts to: "The smartest Chinese tend to be more successful and can afford more children, and this is eugenics."

Agreed, and it sounds like the author has an axe to grind for some odd reason. It's not eugenics that he's attacking only, note the implicit blame of "Darwinians" and "Galtonians" as being a cause for these policies.
