China is heavily invested in promoting the 'out of Asia' hypothesis for a plethora of reasons, one of the main one is not wanting to be of African descent.
It's very healthy to be a bit sceptic about this type of research.
Note that I won't claim this research is faulty, being sceptic against bold claims is generally a good idea.
