This is unjustified xenophobia. And besides, if they were really trying to get bugs into the Linux kernel to further some nefarious goal, why would they publish a paper on it?
Simplest explanation is that they just wanted the publication, not to blame it on CCP or the researchers' nationality.
As I said, the research is the goal. Acknowledging China's past behaviour, and applying it to potential present actions, is not xenophobia.
