I have very little doubt that currently there are elements in the government that have contingency plans for thinning the population if necessary. Nobody is going to write memos outlining an actual purpose, but they can "study" diseases and substances with the stated purpose of combating outbreaks (while quietly collecting the knowledge on how to deploy these things).
I think that it's possible in the past, during widely accepted segregation, that specific groups of people had been considered potential targets. In the present it's very possible that the secretive agencies have plans on how to stop a population explosion in case the planet were to no longer have the resources to sustain human life (100 billion people? a trillion people?).
Remember the anthrax attacks? The prime suspects were government workers that had access in the labs that they worked in.
A better question might be... what is the Chinese government up to? What are their strategies for thinning the herd?
